My sister suffers from terrible allergies and I received a text from her this morning asking me if I would be on the look-out for some hankies....
In an attempt to be 'green' she prefers hankies to tissues, but her collection is dwindling....
So after the text with the request she sends me a picture text....of one of her favorite hankies...I will spare you the gruesome details :)
WELL....with one look at the hankie I knew what it was....A Tammis Keefe!!!
I screamed a little and did a happy dance
This was my grandmother's hankie and it is still in perfect condition...
If you don't know Tammis Keefe....she was born in 1913 and was a world famous textile designer. She attended art school in Los Angeles and worked for Lord and Taylor. She was only 46 when she died in 1960.
Today some of her designs are being re-issued by Michael Miller...and our shoppe has an entire shelf of Tammis Keefe fabric...
I have been meaning to purchase some to make a tea towel for my sister...so after the text...I hopped over to the shoppe to do just that!
My sister loves cats...so these are perfect for her! I love the feathers flying around...hee hee!
Who wouldn't love this kitty....
And this one...
Then I needed to make a stop at Hobby Lobby and I found this sweet trim...perfect!
Another project for me :)
