Have you heard, "Asking a quilter to mend is like asking Picasso to paint the garage."
I'm that Chris and completely agree. However, DH doesn't quite see it that way. :(
I love your idea of using whatever is in the machine to do the mending. That might make the 16 yr boys think twice about asking for stuff to be mended. :twisted:
Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. Tonite mended a pair of DHs pants. Needed patching and all he asked for was a manly color of fabric and thread to kind of match the fabric. Smart man!! I did find a manly print, dark blue with leaves, but kitten absconded with matching thread so he got what was close. He doesn't much care - he's just happy they're mended. I have now fulfilled my mending requirement for the year. :twisted:
