Obviously, I am a NEW quilter. I just finished my first top, it is at the LAQ and I am fully prepared for it to fall apart!! :|
That is exactly what I did when a seam on my very first finished quilt pulled apart when washed. I hand stitched it with teeny tiny stitches. Oh, and I told the recipient, my new great-nephew's mom, what had happened & gave her permission to bring it to me any time during the hopefully long life of the baby quilt for repairs and or replacement. :D
