[Northkeep] Judy linen

[faolanmacfarland at cox.net]

becareful.  I had a friend tell me I could bleach some navy blue since had bad dye lines in it... my blue linen didnt go white.. It went a bluish peachy color with blue spots still in it.   looking back now.. I would of been happier with the blue since faults werent really that bad.
