Thanks so much for sharing your story! I know it was anything but funny for you, but since you've done such a great job repairing the quilt, it made my day somehow. Setting fire to a quilt in progress is just the kind of thing I would do. You told the story in a wonderful way.

Quick save! I love the snowmen fabric, may I ask where you purchased it from??
|
I suppose that give a whole new twist to a "hot" quilt!
You were so lucky to have enough of the same fabric to repare it. Noone will ever know. I don't use candles but I do have what I call scented pebbles. (I'm too lazy to go to the basement to check out the packaging...sorry.) It's scent infused material that sort of looks like chunks of hard gel. To refresh it I just shake the container. So glad all turned out alright. |

I should know better, anyway, I lit a nice peach candle a friend gave me for Christmas in the studio where the children live (the doggies). And needing to blame someone, hubby is one who told me to do it ahahhaahha Anyway I started to work on my quilts. I did have a large space to work on and didn't think the candle posed a problem, even tho my mind said to blow it out. I remember flinging the quilt top to start working on one side, when I thought I saw a flash of light. I was going to ingnore it but decided to look and there was my quilt on fire.... I quickly beat it out, thank God it had just caught and it wasn't bad. |
Great job. I would never guess it was patched.
|
Did you have enough of the snowman fabric? I have some of that, if you need some...
|
I hate candles .I once had a chimmy fire and it scared me rigid . Sooooooo glad you caught it in time . it`s a great repair .
|
Gut instincts are right every time.
|
Oh my goodness. You are so lucky. You fixed section looks great.
|
Lucky catch and great repair job!
We have scented candles around the house but I almost never light one at all anymore. If I do it is one back in a corner of the kitchen counter. Shelly, our dear departed calico, singed her tail on a candle once ;-( |
