DH pointed out that I haven't posted to my blog in a LONG time. The killer Texas heat has definitely been a huge factor in slowing me down. Combine that with malware that brought my PC to its knees (I'm still trying to recover - I am currently using my son's borrowed PC) and I'm surprised I even get up in the morning. Not really, but it feels good to complain.
I have tried one new thing - I finally dyed some old vintage white hobnail bedspread fabric using Rit dye. I wasn't brave enough to dye it in the washing machine so I used a pot on the stove. Very easy after all! And the end result is a much more interesting color than white. Now to figure out what to do with it. Suggestions, anyone?

I have been wondering where your posts have been ... glad to see you again! :-)
Welcome back! So - did the bedspread all come out one even color, or did it splotch? I've had a few things I've been tempted to dye, but was afraid of ugly splotching (as opposed to fun deliberate-looking splotching)...

Yes and no. The first time I used a big piece of fabric so it was hard to agitate it and it ended up splotchy. On the second try I did two smaller pieces (24" x 48") and those came out very even.
