Today I stumbled on a huge plastic tub (with cover) full of someone else's quilting dreams.
Let me list: 9" x 12" : 40 various shades of green 18" x 22": 33 neutrals 13 solids 29 prints 50 1930 type prints 1/2 yds 30 solids 55 yds solids 100 yds prints (might be more than I listed) 144 4" squares cat prints (each totally different) Various other parts of unfinished quilts Unfortunately very musty from storage...am washing as we type with detergent, white vinegar and baking soda.....found success if I wash once, dry hot, and then wash and dry again. Cleaning up will take awhile but considering I paid $25.00 for the Tub...I think I got a bargain. Pics below |

What a load! I just kept scrolling down and down and seeing more and more treasures. You are so lucky. I can see why you are 'in hiding'. We'd all be knocking on your door hoping for more than just a tiny peek. Have fun.

WOW WOW WOW!!!
I tried several methods of getting a musty odor out of clothes that were inadvertently stored in the garage for several years. What *finally* worked for me is adding Oxiclean gel (liquid that comes in a plastic jug; found it at Walmart) to the wash water. Works great! |
unbelievable!
|
BINGO!!!!
