Grrrrrrrrrrr............. after I posted that last night, I tried sending myself emails... unsuccessfully. So I finally buckled down and created a good dedicated rug making email address.
I used the "coat rug" at one week as the background for it.
It turns out I don't need to ditch my latest rescues after all- the "Febreeze" and "Lysol" worked after all.
None the less, if you're a beginner in the NE IL or NW Indiana area, and would like some help, or some easy mat'l to work with, email me. I've got enough sheets now for my wife to stay happily rugging for at least 2 years.
In my dream world... we could even get a "rug circle" going... sorta a folksier and less intense version of "stitch-n-b~tch". Again... if you're in "The Region" and game, let me know. If you're not, then you don't understand, so don't worry about it.
