Hanky with tatted edging


What a nice surprise when I opened my last issue of the Helping Hands Newsletter. The envelope not only contained the newsletter but a pastel green handkerchief. Just right for some spring tatting. For the  edging I used edging #8902 on page 78 of The Tatter's Treasure Chest and size 30 Clark's  thread. I bought this vintage thread from my quilt guild's cash & carry table this month. It is vintage thread, I think. It was a big ball and had a printed price of 45 cents on it. Some of this ball had been used and all during my project I kept hoping that it would last to the end of the project. It did!  There are just a few yards of thread left. I plan to use this hanky to line a small basket and put some Easter eggs in it.
