Really don’t have any call to handle them. They just sit quietly in the glass door book case.
I think my grandmother had made several handkerchiefs from the drawing linen during the war. Soaked and washed the remnants from end of roll. Very fine weave and soft. She embroidered ( needlepoint?) borders and floral designs on them. Shoot, just remembered, she had embroidered a wall cloth for the kitchen with several pouches sized for storing paper bags. Had Delft blue figures of cute dutch children copied from dish patterns. Wooden shoes and windmills.
Your grandmother would probably have crocheted or tatted the edges on the handkerchiefs, depending on what was popular in her area/village. She would have embroidered the designs, either in outline stitch or cross stich, but no matter what methods she used, I’m sure her work was beautiful.
My work is good, but I don’t think it could hold a candle to some of the work by the ladies of the late 19th and early 20th Centuries.
