I know I am a cynical person but doesn't anyone else think it's a bit strange??
There's been some very pertinent questions asked of the OP but she's not answering anything. Hello? Where are you?

The LA has not returned my call. I have heard nothing back from Ebay, even though their e-mail response said I would hear back from them in 3 days.
The quilt was returned in an undamaged box, insured (as I requested and paid extra for). I already explained how I'm going to fix the hole (i.e., with a "heart" patch and a note to the giftee).
I haven’t bashed the LA. I just explained my situation, admittedly while I was on the verge of crying over the hole, and asked for advice. I’m pretty sure how the hole happened – I have a long-arm machine for personal use and I’ve made the same mistake on a quilt or two of my own. BUT, there’s a big difference between “damaging” your own quilt and having one returned to you “damaged” by the LA without any acknowledgement from the LA. (Notice I’ve changed “ruined” to “damaged?” lol) All the suggestions reassured me that my quilt wasn’t ruined and could, in fact, be repaired.
Actually, I’m feeling put-out by insinuations that I’ve done something wrong by initiating this topic. I don’t think I will do so again.
So, thank you all again for your suggestions. I’m sure many of us have learned a lot about how to make repairs to a quilt.
Happy Holidays to all!

Anyway, I think that airing this topic was good for all of us.
