So sorry this happened to you, That must have been frightening. What a terrible experience and just when the weather here is taking the corner into November cold. I hope you have somewhere warm to be while the repairs are done on your house. Please don't beat yourself up about the extension cord. It could be that either it or one of the cords attached to it was faulty, or even the wall socket it was plugged into was not grounded properly.

I will also keep a good thought about dealing with your insuruance company. Let me know when you are ready, and I will help you restock your stash ! I am very serious. I have so much, and would love nothing more than to share some with a fellow QB member that may need some. I can even send it now if you are ready. PM me when you are ready and what you may like, and I will send you a box.

Wishing you the best, and glad you and family are safe!

Ditto here I'm willing to share with you, just pm me and I'll also send you a box or 2.

I'm so so sorry that this happened to you. When you're ready (or feel up to it) PM me your address and I'll send some fabric your way to help re-plenish your stash.

What kinds of gifts did you lose? I know I have some UFO's that I could send.

I am so sorry that you had a fire caused by a cheap extension cord. Thank you for warning us also. I will double check and get rid of any if I still have any of them around here.

I'm so sorry for your fire and loss of those things. I am, however, thankful that no people or animals were hurt. Thank God you were home and awake when it happened.

I've heard it said before to not use those cheap extension cords, but now I really know how dangerous they can be. Keep safe, everyone!
