"Spit up stains happen", as they say. Or was that something else? ;) We used many hand me downs for our kids and I learned that even when a parent takes good care of the clothes and puts them away neat and clean, that the stains rematerialize. The spit up stains are photosensitive and will fade again if you set them out in the sun, but come back after storage. I tried a household hints cleaning formula which seems to work very well: Add one capful of liquid dishwasher detergent and one capful of colorsafe bleach to a bucket of hot water. Mix thoroughly and then add the stained clothes, without packing too many into the bucket. Let sit overnight, remove clothes and wash as normal. That took all of the stians out... although I don't know if they come out of hiding once again. Gosh I hope not. |
That quilt is absolutely beautiful! That kind of talent always amazes me.

What a wonderful surprise. I wouldn't have thought to put these to this use.
|
It is beautiful and well thought out. I wish I had grandchildren so I could make one (and ask you for your patterns).
|
So beautifully done. A wonderful treasure.

That is so cute and I'll be it's very soft and cuddly!!! What a great idea - love the way the clothes characters are on the sails.

What a sweet quilt -- and such a thoughtful gift for a wife-to-be.
|
Too cute!!!! You put your heart into this quilt and it shows. It also looks like it will be well loved.
