MINI EMBROIDERY - A Near Disaster!
Too bad I didn't take a picture of this little embroidery as it was last night. I gave it a quick dip into a bowl of cool water to remove the Solvy and laid it on a clean white towel to dry. Later I noticed the puple floss had RUN -- there were little 'splotches' on the background!! Oh sheesh.
I grabbed a Shout sheet, a squirt of All and crossed my fingers. It had to soak all night before it came out. Whew... a near disaster avoided. I am Happy Dancing that the Shout worked! But, lesson learned; next time I will TEST the floss before using it!

Have fun. I LOVE taking the train. We live in Elizabethtown, PA and my grands live on the other side of the state in Pittsburgh. I love taking the train to see them. It is so much more relaxing than driving. Glad the color came out. I have to get some color catchers.
Beautiful work Cyn and I'm so glad the bleeding came out!! I need to invest in some of those color catchers. Have fun today!!
Reds are bad colors too!
Thank goodness your quick thinking saved the day! The stitching is lovely and I like the fabrics you have teamed it up with. Enjoy the quilt show!

Oh my gosh Cyn!!! That was close! A good lesson for us all I think. Maybe next time you could include a colour catcher sheet in the washing bowl when dissolving the solvy... that may help.
Your embroidery looks beautiful :) hugs Ellyx
