Later as I was sewing I knocked over the cup of coffee sending spilled coffee all over, most of it landing on 3 wips . Can you feel my pain?

I have never done that in my sewing room but I did turn a cup of coffee over at my keyboard. Needless to say I bought a new keyboard and I foolishly still drink coffee at the computer like right now. lol

God bless you! I know those WIPs are usually in different stages of piecing, so you may have to finish them before you can treat the stain. So sorry to hear this. Have learned from you today!

Sassy - glad to hear things are going well with your sgd, but am sorry to hear about the spill. I probably should heed that
'warning" as I usually have coffee near my sewing area. OOPS, not anymore.

Hopefully, this story will make you feel better:
The dogs that I have, basenjis, are not as domesticated as most breeds, amd over the years I've seen that they tend to potty in places they are normally not allowed to be in. So I was working on my husband's grandma's maple leaf (over 40 year old WIP) and I smelled smething, my pants legs got a little damp. Yep, someone peed on my WIP!
I didn't have but a foot of Big Stitching to do, and then the binding, so I did the hand stitching, and threw the whoe thing in the wash.
I really didn't know how it would turn out, did they even prewash fabric when this was cut out 40 years ago?
I was so plaesed and so surprised, it came out beautifully. It had that old quilt, washed crinkleness, which only adds to it's charms
I honestly thought giving the dogs access to my sewing room would make them not seem so forbidden, but now it is, forbidden. At least for a day LOL
After that, I don't worry about my coffee, but I know, an accident's going to happen
