    Thanks so much for sharing your story! I know it was anything but funny for you, but since you've done such a great job repairing the quilt, it made my day somehow. Setting fire to a quilt in progress is just the kind of thing I would do. You told the story in a wonderful way.

    I suppose that give a whole new twist to a "hot" quilt!

    You were so lucky to have enough of the same fabric to repare it. Noone will ever know.

    I don't use candles but I do have what I call scented pebbles. (I'm too lazy to go to the basement to check out the packaging...sorry.) It's scent infused material that sort of looks like chunks of hard gel. To refresh it I just shake the container.

    So glad all turned out alright.

    Anyway I started to work on my quilts. I did have a large space to work on and didn't think the candle posed a problem, even tho my mind said to blow it out.


    I remember flinging the quilt top to start working on one side, when I thought I saw a flash of light. I was going to ingnore it but decided to look and there was my quilt on fire....

    I quickly beat it out, thank God it had just caught and it wasn't bad.
    You are now qualified to change your 'handle' to "Red Hot Quilter."

    Great job. I would never guess it was patched.

    Lucky catch and great repair job!

    We have scented candles around the house but I almost never light one at all anymore. If I do it is one back in a corner of the kitchen counter.

    Shelly, our dear departed calico, singed her tail on a candle once ;-(
