Who are you Pat Prichard?

Am I not the biggest nerd for wanting to check out this book: Hanky Panky: An Intimate History of the Handkerchief by Helen Gustafson? I stumbled upon these handkerchiefs by Pat Prichard and just think they are the loveliest. And then wanting to learn more about Pat Prichard - I did some hardcore research and googled. I found nothing about her on the internet (I imagine the artist to be a woman) though a lot on other hanky designers like Tammis Keefe. So the prettiness of these hankies has me curious (and greedy, I hate to admit)...

  3. Hi,

    I'm a Pat Prichard fan as well, and have scoured the internet and found absolutely NOTHING. How can there be so little information about an amazing designer? Regardless, your post was refreshing. Thanks :)

  6. I have a platter with a Pat Pritchard design on it. I can find nothing on the web about it. Can anyone point me in a good direction? It is Salem China Comstock pattern created with Viktor Schreckengost. Thanks
