Crazy Handkerchiefs I Love
I really love handkerchiefs with strong geometric designs. Here are some from my collection with circles, squares, lines and such.
Cogs?
This hanky had a paper pinned to it, showing it was likely from a handkerchief exchange.
This one give me vertigo!
Faith Austin did this unusual handkerchief, very unlike her typical designs.
Ann McCann was another mid-century designer.

Love these! What an amazing collection. It's funny, but when I look at these designs, I see quilts.
ReplyDeleteMartha the ODell designs I am sure were from a series based on quilt designs. So glad you like them too!
DeleteI remember going into Boston with my older sisters and spending what seemed like hours picking out a handkerchief for my Mom and Aunts for Christmas...forgot how beautiful and varied they are!
