See yesterday's post for more commenting tips.

The Hanky Fairy aka Garden Gnome suggested I give away some of those printed hankies to people who will actually do something with them so I decided this week I would give away a hanky a day. I have six hankies so there will be a new giveaway for six days.

So here's how it works: I will post a new hanky each day and if you are interested, just leave a comment. You can comment on any hanky you're interested in and overseas commenters are welcome. These are pretty easy to mail. I'll use the random number generator to pick a number though I won't be bothering with screen snapshots of the result. It just takes more time than I'm willing to put into it. Make sure I have a way to contact you. I'll update the previous day's entry with the winner's name. I will probably wait until the end and send them all out at once.

All the hankies are freshly laundered, lightly starched and pressed. They are different sizes but I forgot to measure them before I packaged them. Yep, they are packaged and ready to go! Two are embroidered rather than printed on and one is neither printed nor embroidered and is smaller than the others.

And here is the last one! This one is quite a bit smaller than any of the others and is a very pale blue. It has a narrow nylon lace edging that you could remove or tat into the holes of it to attach your own lace. Since it is so small and undecorated, I've included a few bonus items. They will be a surprise.

I can comment from home but not from work which suggests some kind of firewall difference. From work I can comment if I use the name/url option in the identity box. Some people have been able to comment using the anonymous option. I would have waited on this had I known we would have these problems but we're almost done! Remember you have to comment each day for that specific hanky. I use the random number generator before I go to bed so I guess you would say it's a limited time offer!

This hanky is average size and has a rolled hem edge. The colors feel very vintage to me, kind of a shabby chic feel to it. We're getting near the end now. Only one more hanky!

This is the other embroidered hanky and it is a little smaller than average. The rose is embroidered in all four corners and the edge is scalloped. I should mention that none of the hankies are stained or discolored. I soaked them in oxyclean anyway just to brighten them up.

This hanky is slightly larger than the others and has a single rose embroidered on it. It has a rolled edge hem. I have two different quilt projects in mind that use hankies. One is called the Saucy Senorita and uses the hanky for her skirt. The other one is a butterfly quilt and the wings are made from the hanky. Not all hankies are suitable for these projects, like this one. The senorita's skirt really needs an overall pattern or even with something on a single point, it should be smaller and in proportion to the rest of the block. I don't see a way to use this one in butterfly wings either.

This is a Christmas hanky so you can get an early start on Christmas if you like. It has the same design on all four corners and has a scalloped edge. I have a lot of embroidered Christmas hankies too and I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them. The projects I have in mind are not seasonal so I may decide to part with them later.

Years ago I saw a hanky project online which they titled "pocket posies". They used pretty hankies, edged in lace and sometimes with silk ribbon embroidery which were specifically for the pockets of blazers that were so popular then. I still think it's a great idea even though I don't typically wear a jacket or blazer.

Hanky Giveaway Days!

The winner is #11, Am I still Me? from Diary of a Mom Gone Mad. Congrats & please send me your mailing information!

(p.s. - I probably should have mentioned I'll draw each day's winner right before I go to bed which is usually around 11:00 p.m. DST Eastern)

The odd thing is, most of these hankies have scalloped edges and I don't know how that impacts adding a tatted edging. I suspect it will be more of a challenge.

This is the first one! The design is the same in all four corners. It's a average size hanky, not small. I can't believe how much nicer they all look washed and ironed!

Good Luck!
