I gave a child quilt away but left a straight pin sewn in. Don't even know how the pin got between the layers, I sure did it. The mom had to bring the quilt back so I could take a seam apart, remove the pin and then resew! It was a little embarrassing. I've also been stingy with fabric at times, and have used a few selvages!
Thanks for posting, everyone, it's fun to read the silliness!
