Sad to hink of now, but at the time I loved the idea of her embroidered houses. Cotswold cottages to castles....Lizzy Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13925662100321427762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918333902682601699.post-29050332096440949742012-06-03T01:38:19.797-04:002012-06-03T01:38:19.797-04:00I know!

Maybe..the water goes rt back into the aquifer, we have extensive fresh water here, not on my island of course...The gist is that the pipes would get so full of sand that they d not be usable???I think. And flushing keeps evrything clen and fresh.<br /><br />I never prewashed when I sewed clothes, often wool or linen. But cottons..yes. A rule.<br /><br />rLizzy Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13925662100321427762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918333902682601699.post-36967908783561483632012-06-02T21:31:36.366-04:002012-06-02T21:31:36.366-04:00Pre-wash?

I t...Pre-wash? Of course I pre-wash everything! <br /><br />I thought it was a rule! (Then again, my grandfather owned a fabric store and only sold fabric that could be washed ... even had the women who worked at the counter to encourage clients to pre-wash their fabric before they cut out their patterns.)<br /><br />Am I sounding old or what?<br /><br />LOVE the quilting squares! Don't know squat about the flushing of the pipes ... a people divided by an ecology system!Dooley Girlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06957214398261154034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918333902682601699.post-5530884003247037162012-06-01T05:50:32.472-04:002012-06-01T05:50:32.472-04:00Interesting about the flushing of the pipes in you...Interesting about the flushing of the pipes in your area. Never heard of that before. The water here runs red if the water tanks get low. Everyone uses filters, but when your filter is turning orange every day, it makes you wonder what is in the water. I don't trust the tap here at all. Love the house block. I have a thing for houses -- use to cross-stitch them all the time. Don't know a thing about fabrics or sewing or quilting. But I do know that during the summer, we only have one washing temperature and that is HOT. I've ruined a few new things of hubby's recently because what should be washed in cold the first time, doesn't have a chance. :/ Have a great weekend.
