Can you patch the place that you tore with a cute topic related picture? A flower or something? Please don't give up, sometimes mistakes lead to a charming new idea.

I don't know what happened. I checked the back when I basted it and it looked good. even worse my material got hung on the foot went to get it out and cut a hole in it. and I was almost done with the whole top. so well what to do what to do watch it snow and hope I get enough so I can make me some snow creme. I hope that you day has been better than mine.

What is snow creme please? Sorry I asked before I read the rest of the thread!! I have lived in Michigan most of my life and traveled alot and I have never heard of it!! but in the Grand Rapids area where I live we have local made Hudsonville Ice Cream so that's my comfort!!

How about putting your quilt label over the hole. Will that work?

When we lived in NY we would boil maple syrup to soft boil stage and then pour over packed snow. Yummy like taffy.
One of my favorite childhood memories!

Here is an update on my quilt. I spent all morning taking out the stitching in that area. The hole was close to the seam and seemed to go along the seam. So I took my spray starch and sprayed it real good. and then patted the extra material down and folded over a small seam and hand stitched and took the hair dryer and dried the material and then done FMQ along that and you can't even tell that there was ever a hole there to begin with. Thank God for the lady that done the starch thing with a quilt block. I saw it a while back on utube. Sharon Shcramber or something. and thank God it was close to a seam. If it had been on the back it wouldn't have been a big deal, but it was on the front. So thank you ladies for letting me vent. I was so mad at myself and noone around here quilts or cares that I quilt but me. I fixed it. So now to cut the binding and get it on. I will be so glad to get it done I could probably do a crazy dance. thanks for the suggestions and understanding. You ladies are the best.
