Let's talk about red

IMO you need to buy several different ones so you can see what works
best with your GREEN. Anyhow, you might find a dozen different
manufacturers who call something "Christmas red", and all those reds
are different.

IF you were shopping online, what would be the best word for just pure, true
red? There's crimson, and Christmas and just all manner of red names. Wonder
which one would work for my shopping? Polly

Sorry, anything to do with leaky red dye just kills any humorous
impulse.

I've only had one to run. (Say that 3 times real fast.) It was a glorious
red batik. Probably I've been very lucky. Polly

Is there any way to find reds that won't run like crazy?

Who would have imagined I would appreciate not having grand kids.
Today it doesn't seem like such a bad thing.
Life does go on. It will be different for many, good or bad depending
on whether you are a giver or a taker.
Dh is sorry he didn't dodge the draft.

No, not a good day for humor. Some of us are celebrating, some struggling to
be gracious, some devastated. Life goes on. Polly

Taria, I made a "joke" & nobody caught it :-(

~~~Polly, I think the best red for you is the one (ones) in your cart. Me?
I'm gonna get me some more blue!~~~

Howdy!

Reds run?! ?!!!??!

I use the Color Catcher on all the new-to-me fabric; haven't had a
red running in many years.

For Christmas- is there a special red just for Christmas? Is there
just one red? They're all good. Use the one that goes with what
you're working on; that decides it for me. g
Yes, that means that we must have many reds in the stash, makes
choosing easier.

Cheers!

If your red is running, I hope it has my address!
buh-dum-bump!
We've been in a good humor since about 10:00 Tuesday night,
laughing and whooping it up. Let the quilting continue!

It seems many of my dear friends agree with you. Just be ready to
duck and run when you get your new tax bills. You are lucky you
don't live in CA. These folks love to throw money to govt. for
taxes! They actually make the rest of the country look like slackers!
I told dh we might just be low enough income that Jerry
Brown will buy us solar for the house. Time for us to start working
the system.

That cheered me up, Sandy!!

I try to buy "Turkey" reds. They just seem to warm up with any color. Kind of like the Granny apple greens do. But Roberta's right, match the red with what you're working on, especially the greens. Some greens and reds vibrate...
