I guess I was so upset by the incident I wasn't thinking! I will salvage the pieces from the sewing trash can when I get home tonight from work. Thank you all for the info on cleaning!!

How sad. The rule at our house has always been no food or drinks except in the kitchen and the dining room. There is no reason for it. After all, it only takes a second to walk in to the kitchen to get a drink.
I would take them out of the trash and soak them in cold water. Then air dry, press, and use them. It will wash out when you wash the quilt.
Good luck to you. :) Go give your daughter a hug.

I calmly cleaned up the spill ( which just missed my Janome 10001) I just threw all pieces in the trash.
Dd feels bad enough and I didnt need to make a scene but I sure feel like crying.
New rule: NO food or drinks allowed in my sewing area.
Thanks for listening to me vent,

Good news! I salvaged the pieces from the trash and soaked them in cold water with borax. They came clean! The pieces were dried, starched, pressed and ready to go. I am doing the happy dance!!
THANK YOU ALL!!
