Gosh, Jane, I am so very sorry this happened to you.
I can't think of anything more frustrating, upsetting, that makes you want to want to pull your hair out, or gives you that sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach than when something that you've put your blood, sweat and tears into has some sort of 'accident'. I'm sure you are getting a lot of prayers and good vibes from this quilting board, along with good ideas to help with this problem. With all those positive thoughts coming your way, things just have to work out in your favor. Blessings to you.
