Hi,

Does anyone have a secret recipe for getting the old brown stains out of quilt blocks? I'm trying to finish up some very old projects and have a pieced top that needs some tender attention.

Does anyone know where to get fels naptha soap?
Haven't been able to find it anywhere around the Gainesville area.

I've seen Fels soap at the Ace hardware store near me. I wonder if Walmart carries it, sort of an old-timey laundry thing like borax, which I add to my wash all the time.

Well I'll be...
the hardware store....
never thought of checking at Ace hardware.

Will put that on my to-do list for tomorrow.

Thanks for the great tips.

Fels Naptha is a bar soap and used to be carried at Wal Mart. Haven't looked lately, but if you can't find it, I have a bar that has been used that I'll give up to you.

Am headed to town tomorrow and will stop at Walmart.

THANK YOU....

hope they have it at Walmart or Publix
