    That was a good eBay experience, then. The seller certainly was fair with you.

    I would like to see it, too. I love older quilts.

    I love Grandma' Secret Spot remover. It can work miracles. My husband got dirty transmission fluid on his khaki work pants and I didn't see the spots until after the pants were washed and dried. I figured they were garbage. But I bought some Grandma's to try and after a couple of times letting the stuff sit on the spots and then washing, the spots were gone. Amazing !

    Thanks, I have never seen that around here, but worth searching for, it sounds like!

    Dampen the spot, cover with cream of tartar, tie a string around it to keep it together and damp, let set for a couple hours. It worked for me! You want the CoT to remain pasty

    I remember taking rust out of my white gloves with lemon juice when I was a kid. I just looked it up for you.
