I don’t think I have ever done so much washing in one weekend as I have during this one just gone.

It’s not that we are a particularly filthy family. No more than average, anyway – I hope. Nor have we done anything (such as camping) that has left us in a particularly dirty state.

No, it’s just that it feels that weekends in which it is warm and breezy enough outside to dry those stubborn household items (bath mats, curtains, sofa covers, bedding) are, before too long, going to be few and far between.

Plus, my man was away. So being the giddy gadabout that I’m not, I thought I’d better make the most of it and get on with a spot of household stain removal.

The nicest of my washing chores by far was this vintage quilt cover, bought at a charity shop the other day for a few quid.It is the perfect colour of blue sky…

(and yes, that is one photograph below, not two!)

It is destined for the chop of course.

Now, what shall I make from it first? ♥
