DoryJM Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Can you see what I missed?? If only I'd looked at the photos before returning the quilt.:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witha'K'quilting Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 it is fixable...just clamp the quilt back on the frame...and add in the missing quilting lines. oops! i just red that you already returned the quilt. no matter...she probably won't notice. if she does...then do what i suggested above!

Guest Linda S Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Uh-oh! Maybe you can ask her to bring it back because you "forgot to take a picture!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoryJM Posted July 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Nah, I just sent her a message and 'fessed up. She actually gave me two quilts at once and I returned both. So I joked in my message to her asking if she'd noticed it yet, then told her which quilt. She's a newer customer, but she loves my work (her words, not mine;)) and says I will be getting more of her business. Of course, that was before I missed part of her quilt!

Kueser Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 I see nothing wrong with saying OOPs. It only shows we are human and willing to admit our mistakes. If it was a problem that was unfixable, then I would be upset. This is do able! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffq-lar Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Dory--I have had two of these oopsies! One was found months after it had been on her bed, was one small swirl and easily fixed. The second was found by the customer's eagled-eyed twelve year old son. One un-CC'ed small square--but very obvious when pointed out. I suspect we have joined a very large club!!

DoryJM Posted July 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Perhaps our club should have a name? Like ....... I don't know what, but don't all good clubs have names?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFQuilts Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 For a name: Fixable Oops? I've been there and done that this week. I love fixable oops - even when they mean mounting the quilt again. Honesty with a customer always pays off in some way. Lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elita@BusyNeedleQuilting Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Hi Dory, Is that your own pattern creation? I like the way it goes so well with the little bubbles in what appears to be a sashing. If there's a name for it, please let me know! Thanks!

jeri Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Oh yes happens alot. I definately have to go back on this quilt and check the leaves on my rose blocks. I kept missing the spines in them. At least they are easy to hide the stops and starts. If I missed some the the meandering leaves won't worry about those but on the bolcks definately.

Anniquilter Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 The Oopsies? the OopsyDaisy club? If membership is based on BTDT I'm definitely in! The quilt I won a red ribbon & best 2 color quilt award for at VQF has a glaring one. I only noticed it on the last day when a friend asked me to show her my quilt! I forgot to do the stippling in the white area of this star! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoryJM Posted August 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 That quilt is gorgeous! I love two color quilts and you rocked that one...even with your oops! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Hey Dory, This is a true story. A few years ago, I was studying very closely, a photo of a quilt that was done by one of my all time Quilt Rockstar idols. Well, I have yet to tell her that her beautiful quilt; she missed one of the continuous curves. Ooops! :o Even with the CC missing, this quilt won big awards at the biggie shows. This quilt rock star is a huge name in our quilty world. Everyone here knows her. She's a famous teacher at all of the shows..has published numerous books and DVDs. she has won many top awards at the national shows. This same quilt has been published in at least 2 books that I know of...and it's on the Internet in Webshots. Everyone adores this teacher, and adores this quilt. It's a beautiful quilt... and I am her biggest fan. I just can't bear to tell her. The oops!? We all do it! Even the rock stars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
