Help!

I had a quilt that someone gave me with a cigarette burn in it in the center. I didn't even have the same fabric as the quilt but found some similar fabric and appliqued a patch over it. You really have to look for the patch to know that it is there. When I do find the patch sometimes I just think how much I love the quilt and how clever I was to save it.

Since that has happened to me more than once all I can do is give you my fix and let you run with the idea. I call those my special detail areas. I find a matching or contrast fabric, get out the fabric pens, and write a personal note for the recipient before I appliqué the patch to the quilt, or add a pretty shape, or on one daisy quilt I did, I just used a bubble bee appliqué to fix it. Get creative. Let us see what you decide. I even turned a beige patch into a bandaid!

Check out a product called Bonash. I did this same thing on a quilt that was pale ice blue and I used it with great results. It is a wonderful product to have on hand and lasts forever. It is a powder based glue, heat activated. Let us know if it works for you too.

It's the same as Carly posted about. It does work!
