no i don't think that would be good ;-). but you made me laugh. thanks for that and the suggest for making potholders.

tea

never heard of gal friday. where do you buy it

I buy it at the grocery store. It is in with the cleaners. Pink and white bottle.

I wouldn't give up on it quite yet :wink: If it has only shrunk 1/2" you could rewet it and block it and get it back to the needed size... Sharon Schamber has an excellent video of doing this on her website 8)

I use oxyclean all the time. As a matter of fact, I just used it tonight on a top I spilled coffee on. I usually let it set overnight. If it is an old stain, I let it set longer, changing the water and oxyclean.

Don't be too hard on the poor lady who did the spilling. I vote for "spilling" coffee on the rest of the blocks and move on. Life is too short.

If the stain won't come out I would throw all of the blocks and any of the fabric pieces/scraps into a big bowl of coffee. All would shrink the same and be the same color.

i have given that a thought. thanks. i'm putting is aside for now and work on something for the holidays.

tea

I know this is kinda late - very busy last week. BUT, I had a full glass of strong tea spilled on my cream colored tablecloth and everyone had just filled their plates, so couldn't snatch the cloth off the table. Needless to say, it was quite a huge stain and I got it out with Biz. I tried several other things, but finally made a paste and let it sit overnight. I think the stain is almost totally out - haven't ironed it yet to be sure.

use simple green . It will remove almost any stain
