Was tacking a pretty pink rose blanket (just a fabric sandwich, not a quilt) and trying to watch Book TV at the same time. Nipped the fabric when trimming the tack. Dumb Me!. And it's for a very special gal who's one of the longest surviving CF sufferers. (She's in her late 40's)

oh well, a few stitches of thread, and I'll just fess up to her!

oh no, things happens, take care and glad you fixed it

All can be fixed with a few discreet stitches -I'm sure it was made with a lot of love.

She will love it and your added work will make it even more special.

I'm sure she will love it. I've never heard of anyone with CF living that long, bless her heart!
What's book TV???

There are a couple of rules that I think apply here.

Rule#1: Don't sweat the small stuff.
Rule #2: It's all small stuff.

As a CF survivor I'm sure your friend will agree. And I know she'll love your thoughtful gift.

Oops! Can you applique something over the nip?

J. is one of the longest surviving victims of CF. She's been hanging in for a long time.

BOOK TV is every weekend on C-SPAN 2. There are interviews with non-fiction authors. Discussions of non-fiction books. A feature "What are you reading" that asks well known people what they are currently reading.

I love it. Don't like every book or every author, but there is such a wide variety of folks and titles that something you like is bound to pop up.

Google BOOK TV and get an overview of the program. It runs for 48 hours-- Saturday morning thru Monday morning.

I am sure she will love it!!! And how wonderful for her to have beaten CF for so long!!! I lost 2 cousins to CF. Gaye was in her middle 20's and Andy was 22. I pray that a cure will be found soon.

I'm sorry to hear about your cousins.

J's gotten so immune to antibiotics that when she has a infection, she has to be hospitalized for intravenious antibiotics. Gets harder for her every time.
