I'd rather have these flowers and a story about where the patterns originated than have the patterns stuck up in a drawer somewhere. this is such a good idea. instead of holding onto things that we value but that have no PRACTICAl value, we can turn them into something beautiful to think about and admire again and again.

But there were millions printed and I don't see the harm if it keeps them out of the landfill. You can make that history arguement about reusing anything old...old typewriters, watches, and vintage jewelry. I can see your point about using the old patterns.

These old patterns are an irreplaceable bit of history. I collect vintage apron patterns and use them as they were intended. These crafts make me sad. Sorry, I have to agree with Jen.
