But is also depends on who hosts it. Your baby quilt is so cute. What fun that is going to be to recreate. I am just in love with it. I have always used biz because it does not bleach anything out. It even takes out stubborn formula stains from when I son was <br />little. <br />Thank you for the sweet comments on my blog.<br />Hugs<br />donnadonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06110572810616964398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237432470133488199.post-25419151599082427732013-04-30T21:30:46.953-07:002013-04-30T21:30:46.953-07:00Thank you!!

I think I will just recreate a new one because I can just see all those balloons in pretty prints, and also restitch a few of the appliqué pieces of the quilt to they don't flap down. There is a a few burned spots that I won't be able to fix, but other than that is is just a well loved, maybe good picnic blanket to lay on! <br /><br />Yes, you are my neighbor! Oh, I would love to visit with you in October if it works out for you to do so! I am about a few hours away north, so that would work out! I have never been to Visalia. Is it northern or southern CA? <br /><br />Have a great night! xo Heathervintage greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04244334698699187987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237432470133488199.post-42056697548680728962013-04-30T21:19:41.594-07:002013-04-30T21:19:41.594-07:00Thanks Kim!

Aside from recreating it, will you rework/fix it? I don't take care of linens and such, but my friend Cindy from "RetroRevivalBiz" might have some tips for you. I don't know if you visit her, but she does a lot of the same things and just might be able to help.<br /><br />Prices here in Arizona are crazy high, too. On my bucket list is to someday take a U-haul back east and hit every estate/tag sale from there to here and just fill the truck. It'll never happen, but one can dream. Hey, we're neighbors in a way.....California is just next door. I used to live in Visalia for my senior year of high school. Have you ever been there? I'll be in San Diego in October for my husbands reunion of navy buddies, are you near there? If I can stretch out the trip, maybe we can hook up.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />MeriImagiMerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14604146258780421306noreply@blogger.com
