That's what I would do. If it doesn't come out, then take it back, fix it and give it back as soon as possible. She will surely understand.

I'm so glad the story has a happy ending! I can't imagine trying to sew / quilt something wet; you are a better woman than I am.

Poor husband, I'm glad it all worked out for him, too. :)

I'm so glad this ended well. Poor DH, his heart was in the right place. Bet he'll stand back far away from your quilts with a drink from now on :)

Also, if you can't beat it .. join it. After the quilt is finished, put some diet coke in a spray bottle and spray the back, randomly, so that it matches the original stain. Let it set for awhile then wash the whole thing. You may have just stumbled on to something!! ;-)

very creative great idea :thumbup:

So do we get to see the quilt????

Nettie Phillips 03-06-2011 06:42 PM

So sorry but I don't have any ideas.

Soil love from the 99cents store or prespot from melaleuca.com
prespot pretty much gets anything out, blood , pen ink, chocolate, etc. love it

Call the mama and tell her about it, ask if she would mind waiting for a fresh one, then make a big goofy coupon to take to the shower, (wrapped to open) promising her a new quilt? IMHO. I am hopeless with stains. Sorry. :oops:

So glad to hear it all came out and you were able to finish it in time.

As long as you have not put in the dryer, then try some cold water and rub with a bar of soap, then gently with your fingers, rub the spot let sit for awhile and then rinse.

You might think I am crazy, but I try this for many a stain.

I always use Zout. Best cleaning product I ever used.

LOVE a happy ending, but, that was a lot of work. Praise the Lord!!

when is your husband's memorial service?

Mercedes Schmidt 03-07-2011 05:38 PM

I know a way to take blood out if you stick yourself. Roll up a small ball of thread, moisten it with your own saliva and dab the spot. It has something to do with your own blood and saliva. Won't work using someone elses saliva or on someone elses blood.

Take a picture of the front and give it to her with an IOU. Just say technical difficulties interferred with you finishing it in time.
