Last night my friend Katie came over and I pulled out all my quilting stuff and showed her what I had completed over the summer and some older projects that I’m not sure what to do with next. I have a small trunk in my bedroom where I keep the older projects and just as I lifted out the first quilt, my cat jumped into the trunk. I ran over to pull him out, but it was too late. He peed all over my quilts.
The quilts represented years of work, and I was so afraid the smell and stains would be irreparable. I took them to the laundromat first thing the next day and washed them on gentle with detergent, OxiClean, and a ton of white vinegar, and they came out smelling fresh with no stains.
The cat will live to see another day.
