oh, how funny!
|
Oh, phooo!!! that sure looks like something I would do. Thank goodness it's only a little scrap. Marie Osmond had it right: If you're going to laugh about it later, you might as well laugh about it now.
|
Oh drat, darn, crumb bum!! Thanks goodness it's only a little piece. I ususally have a much larger mess, when I do things like that!:D
|
LOL with you and not at you! Believe me, I've done worse--including quilting part of one to my bathrobe! I would either turn the edges under or put some rickrack around it and sal that I meant for it to be there. At least it sort of coordinates!
|
You probably couldn't do that again if you were trying to do it! I am not sure I would take it out. Maybe applique over it with a quilt label? thanks for the laugh. I could see myself doing something like that.
|
Definitely better to laugh at oneself! At least it's an easy fix. :)
|
I have done that soooo many times.
|
Thanks for sharing. Is it in a location that a label could be placed on top???
|
Why can't you cut the thread, take it off and then restitch just that area??
|
We don't make mistakes!! That's just where you intend to put your label, right?
|
done that too -- actually you can cut the piece away from the quilting ! I used small scissors and bright lighting to make sure I cut accurately....then you don't have to rip the quilting.
Nice quilt ! |
I was cutting fabric, when I cut a corner(it was folded), Teflon pressing sheet! Oh, boy! Accidents happen....
|
Sorry, I haven't read all the posts, but my suggestion is to put the label over that patch!
|
Priceless!!! :)
|
Leave it, it adds character.
J J |
Too funny! Just think of it as creative license. :)
|
Join the world of mortals Tee-Hee!. We all have done some, dumb or silly or stupid things at one time or another. We are proud of having another member. Beautiful quilting even if you added a little "extra".
|
oh that just sucks but i laughed so hard! i think we all have done the same thing and if we haven't we sure will! have a beautiful day!

|
yes I did LOL because I have done something like that. ala
|
If it is bothering you....It looks close enough to the edge that you could hand stitch your quilt label over it? Or a heart....the fabrics are wonderful!...even the green triangle! :)
|
It looks cute, but not what you wanted. Can you cut close to the stitching with sharp scissors, the pull the theads out?
Very cute quilt. |
That is funny :) I have that same fabric from a quilt I made last year!
|
Been there done that only it was a Kwik Sew pattern envelope and the pattern was in it! I was using invisible thread which I now hate and was doing a lot of meandering. Boy what a mess! Count your blessings it could have been a much bigger piece of fabric. Nice quilt, for a special baby.
|
Don't feel alone. When I was taking Home Ec in 6th grade about 60 years ago, I sewed my poodle skirt right into my project. My next lesson was on frog sewing, "rip-it, rip-it, rip-it". It was a lesson that I have practiced many time since so now I rip-it very well. LOL and I'm glad you could laugh about your boo boo also.
|
I did that with a sweatshirt makeover, and I got a piece caught in the inside. I told everybody it was my "signature".
|
The bby quilt is adorable.
I'd leave it there to hear all the comments & reactions It would be even more fun to hear the silence ...........when your show it off...ha haaa !! |

It is a one of a kind. If that is the worst that ever happens, be thankful
|
Maybe somehow you could make a lable out of this. Or not. So sorry for the extra material that hopped on your quilt.
|
I can relate. Thanks for sharing!
|
I've done that. I either put the label there or trim close to the stitching and shred the threads out of there.
|
Isn't it amazing how those little critters just show up when we least expect them?
|
Its beautiful, and well your mistake just goes to show you are Human lol.

The backing is flannel and the little triangle is from another project that was ready and waiting -- too close to the sewing machine, I reckon. I'll rip --- tomorrow! |
Been there and done that! Just recently too! lol
Love the quilt! |
You're not alone, I've done that exact same thing. Quilt is beautiful!
|
It's such a cute little green triangle. I'm sure it will be happy where ever you put it.
|
MTS --- you are definitely an on the fly thinker --- and i too agree - forget un-sewing......that is where i would put the label !!!!
|
Mona - that is hilarious! A teaser indeed!
