Luckily I quickly let go of the quilt and moved my hand out of the way before the blood marked the fabric.
I think a tracking device is great, but I just wish they wouldn't make needles that are not picked up by my magnetic wand! I've got these little 1/4" (yep, you read it right) applique pins and if I drop one or loose one in the area I'm sitting around, I can never find them again. They just laugh and mock me when I pull out my magnetic wand so I don't use them anymore. Well, that and I can't seem to grab them because they are so small!
If you get blood on your quilt, suck on it. There is an enzyme in our saliva that will remove our own blood from fabrics. It only works with your own blood and saliva. You can't suck someone else's blood out of fabric. My kids are lucky I didn't know this when they were smaller or whenever they came home with skinned knees I'd have them sucking on the pants to get out the blood! :P :lol:
