RIT makes a color remover, but it might remove the other colors in the rug as well. I would check it out before using it, and a regular-sized washer needs at least 2 packets. Good luck!

I used to make toasted wheat berries. Wow, I'd forgotten all about them. Since I purchased wheat in 50 lb. tubs...we ate a LOT of them! I heated up a dry cast iron skillet over a medium-low heat, added just a tad bit of oil, & tossed about a 1/2 cup wheat berries into the pan. In just a couple minutes they'd start popping similar to popcorn but wheat berries don't get nearly as large. I would shake the pan to keep them from burning & in just a couple minutes they were done. Then, I'd pour them out into a bowl, sprinkle with a little salt, & munch on them all day. I never seasoned them with anything except salt. BTW, I was living in CA. /tricia

Yup, that would be it! (There's something ironic about dogbane growing all over a hill where people regularly walk their dogs..)

That's pretty funny, Theresa. Happily, I don't have this problem. I rarely, if ever, buy fabric unless I need it for a particular quilt that I'm working on. The exception is that I do buy neutrals to make scrappy quilts. I never have enough light/neutral fabric scraps.
