hahaha, I feel so foolish, here is the story and some pics lol.
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. it burned half the diamond and three sections of the strips [ATTACH=CONFIG]157515[/ATTACH] here I cut the bad parts out [ATTACH=CONFIG]157516[/ATTACH] all fixed you can't even tell, it is patchwork after all lol [ATTACH=CONFIG]157518[/ATTACH] |
YIKES! It's a beautiful quilt! I hope you can fix it

Glad you were able to fix the damage.... it looks like a lovely quilt... I love snowmen! :)

I haven't, but my DIL had a candle fall from a windowsill and burn a large hole in a Christmas Log Cabin quilt I had made for her several years ago. I am very happy your are able to patch yours.

oh my word! Thank goodness you were able to save it and more importantly you or the kids weren't hurt. You do know though that you will never live that one down. =)

I'm so glad you caught your fire in time before more damage was done and your quilt looks good as new.

You did a good job on the repairs!
