    Have you washed these pieces? I used some old discharge paste, it seemed to work fine but when I washed the fabric the design was gone.

    What fun Luann- love the demo of the cards you and your friends did also the clip on discharge. Would love to have a go at this.
    I signed up for your blog and at first I got your notices when a new blog was out but lately that hasn't happen ? Wonder why if I am doing something wrong on computer. Just happen to see this notice on Pinterest. So checked it out, thanks for sharing.
