Right now, as we speak, I have a couple of Christmas table runners in the washing machine. I made them with fabric that I bought at an estate sale - 3 gigantic bins at $10/bin! It was in amazing shape, and some name brands. I have no idea how old it is, though. So ... I've got two table runners that were made with green, Red, and white prints being washed right now, along with a couple of Carbona color catchers. I don't have a question ... I just needed to talk to people who understand, while I sit here and bite my nails!!
