I have an entire side of my house with about 8 or 9 mature hydrangeas that were planted by the original owner and somebody had asked me to start a cutting for them and I didn't know how. Yep, that does sound easy enough. Maybe I'll start some next January to take to the Spring plant swap. I'm guessing they are the Nikoo blue because that was the only variety or one of the few varieties around when they lived here and the man that prunes them said that's what he thinks they are. Thanks to all who responded.
