Embroidered Linens (ie, tea towels, pillow cases)
Chenille (salvaged bedspreads et al)
Quilts (unfinished and blocks - do not cut up antiques or heirlooms!)
Lace trim (and no, neither ribbons or lace yardage will work)
Handkerchiefs (I suppose I could cut up my scraps into blocks, but that's pointless)
Kitchen linens (this was a little closer to what I wanted)
Doilies (I own one, and I'm using it for its intended purpose thank you)
Most of the crafts are obvious, too. Stuffed animals, throw pillows, placemats, doll clothes. Really? I needed a coffee-table book to suggest those?
Otoh, I did need to be told something that should have been obvious long ago. When making a throw pillow, consider shaping it like a purchased sham, with the opening an overlap flange in the center of the back. That way there won't be an awkward 4th side to hand-stitch, and the form can be removed so that the cover can be washed.
For that hint alone I'm glad I picked up the book at the library.
And of course, if you have already been collecting lace trim, dresser scarves, etc., you might like the book better than I.
Oh, and there are informative bits about the history of the different kinds of available pieces and how-to buy them at flea markets (yard sales? thrift stores?). I only skimmed a couple of those, but they might interest you.
