I had a request to repair a couple of baby quilts that really would have needed a magic wand to fix the quilts. They were baby quilts made of the thinnest cheap flannel. The girls had used them as "blankies" for the last five years and they were so threadbare you could see through them when they were held up. To make matters worse there was no batting and they had been tied with yarn. There was no way to take the layers apart without tearing the fabric. I understood that the girls loved the quilts but sadly it was time for the kids to face the harsh realities of life.
