Ooh, so pretty! I love vintage linens. I have some of my great-grandmother's hand-embroidered pillowcases. But the stitching is wearing out in some places. So sad.

That is so beautiful! I love all the things my Grandma made me too.

Those are very pretty. I never know what to do with mine.

I've seen them with a square pillow form inside, then tied shut with a satin ribbon. I hate to use them. But then they will get passed down another generation — or sold at a garage sale for 50¢. I"d rather use them.

What if they buy them and use them as rags to clean a motorcycle?

Those are beautiful. I have some of my grandmother's that look similar. What's the story behind these?
