Found tons of pics of pillow case dolls just by typing the phrase into google. Here's a site that has a picture and directions. Copy and paste the site into google and it comes up the first one. http://www.latter-dayhomeschooling.com/2011/11/pioneer-pillowcase-dolls.html Hope this helps.

LOL Linda, ya think? In Calgary I had a roommate named Ken, I had a boyfriend named Ken, I have a cousin named Ken, I have a friend/neighbour named Ken and then handyman Ken. LOL Lots of Kens. Never wanted a Ken doll though. I should start getting rid of things. I did start on my cards last summer. I have every card and letter and school note since the day I was born. I have all the cards I have every received from KTers too I keep them in boxes separated by year. So that is 51 years worth of cards. LOL I even have all my school Valentine cards. I love taking them out once in a while and I look through the early ones. I love the graphics on some of the older cards. I love seeing the signatures of my Great Grandma Paul and 2 sets of Grandparents, Great Aunt, my God Parents and my Aunts and Uncles. I tell 2 of my nieces I saved all these things to prove I was loved. I am only partially joking about that. Every once in a while though I purge and get rid of things that are in the attic. When HK was working here last year I got rid of a lot of things I was saving like all my school note books and college notes. I kept my projects though. LOL As I was going through the stuff with him we had some good laughs which made it easier to get rid of these things. LOL I need Handsome Ken to come back so I can get rid of more things. LOL I am glad I found these letters though because I never knew where they were and I thought they had been thrown out years ago by my brother when he was cleaning out the attic. I think I will start making notes to tell why I saved certain things and what they meant to me for whoever goes through my things after I am gone. That is a good idea Lydia. (((Rita))) Going through the attic one year I found some things that belonged to my Uncle Earl that he had given my Dad. Uncle Earl was married to my Dad's sister and they were in the navy together. Looks like he had an affair when he was overseas in England because there were letters from a woman. My Mom always thought my Dad met somebody when he was in England too. Before my Uncle Earl passed away he gave this box to my Dad because he probably didn't want my Aunt to find it. Anne

What about incorporating the pieces of embroidered pillowcases into some crazy quilt blocks - not the silk and velvet type of CQ - using quilters' cotton to bring out the colors in the embroidery. I can see a lovely table runner for your dining room table with bits of the embroidery added. Using crazy quilt blocks would mean you could make the patch whatever size was needed to include the handwork. You could also use some old lace and unique buttons too. Teresa
