Luckily it was a quilt with flower blocks & believe it or not, I had one of those little pre-made appliques of a bumblebee, so I slapped it on there. Whew!
Now that was BRILLIANT thinking!!!
Years ago, my daughter needed a "solid color dress" for a sorority whatever. I made her a pretty red one and after it was finished, was snipping a thread from just below the zipper. Yep, you guessed it! Luckily, it was right at the stitching line, so I dabbed it with Fray Check and advised her to be careful with the zipper. It was just a tiny snip but just made me sick! You'd think I'd have learned a lesson, huh? LOL
