The first few handkerchiefs stitched for this installation were done while I was relearning how to best stitch text on ultra thin fabric using an adhesive backed, water-soluble stabilizer. I've got the process down now! There are forty-two finished handkerchiefs but the list of grievances is growing daily.
I've put a temporary hold on this project. Why? Well ... I shared this installation on social media. It included my address so that anyone could send another handkerchief for me to use. Several people responded saying that they would mail a donation, but ... to be perfectly honest ... I don't know yet if all these nice people were serious. Are there handkerchiefs winging their way to me in Cateechee? I hope so but I also don't know how many might be coming. I'll wait a couple days to see what the postman brings! Please scroll down to see a few of the ones that are ready for to be exhibited.
