...Mom: beautiful quilt block in a stunning quilt!<br /><br /> Karen H: thanks for the shout out. Thanks for the link to all those inspiring quilts!<br /><br />Jo: I agree, always more more than housework! <br />Quilting forever...housework whenever!<br /><br />A Nudge: chocolate is a tough one. As someone who can rarely get the cup of mocha to my lips without spilling. My normal laundry routine is to douse any questionable spots with Oxyclean pretreatment spray. If that doesn't do it, before the item is dried, I'll try dabbing hydrogen perioxide and putting it on the lawn in the sunlight. If the item is colorfast you can try a concentrated soak in Oxyclean. Martha Pullen swears by long repeated soaks in Biz. As a last resort, on white fabrics, I'll try a bleach pen for spot applications. Good luck!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04165506925654309745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-355830180271785865.post-75002847885212569402014-06-16T10:37:26.180-07:002014-06-16T10:37:26.180-07:00Gorgeous!!

Then I started to read and it IS!. How neat. Neat GG blocks, too. Lucky you to get to go to a show. Me, I'm still watching the WC and it is fabulous - the refs are doing a great job compared to the last one.Angie in SoCalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01689281551068732574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-355830180271785865.post-77946951667314079272014-06-15T12:33:42.897-07:002014-06-15T12:33:42.897-07:00I now have a few more cleaning supplies to add to ...I now have a few more cleaning supplies to add to my list. For some reason, buying them for quilting, is more fun than buying them for house cleaning. I went to the NJS when it was in Halifax in 2012. It was amazing. It's wonderful to see your mom's quilt, within in the larger one. This particular block is one of my faves on the whole quilt.Jo Fergusonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05622284091135049983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-355830180271785865.post-37353795159832647172014-06-15T12:11:36.265-07:002014-06-15T12:11:36.265-07:00I use blue Dawn a lot too.

You know when the red fabric bleeds on the light one even though you had pre-washed them? Or the red thread bleeds? Dawn has been wonderful in fixing all these. Hope this help. Great African quilt.Cissa Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09509962958040561928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-355830180271785865.post-82321143814888060602014-06-15T10:45:15.483-07:002014-06-15T10:45:15.483-07:00First tell your very talented Mom that I think her...First tell your very talented Mom that I think her block is amazing the whole quilt had me mesmerized while at the quilt show. I have always been drawn to African themed quilts. I have only ever embroidered one. Have never come across any patterns as I am no artist LOL. I am always on the look out for these kind of patterns. Thank goodness those stains came out of Mom's blocks. And your GG blocks are beautiful.<br />BunnyBunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14952553076346739583noreply@blogger.com
