<p>[QUOTE="Kasperscuriosities, post: 62125, member: 404"]Okay so I have a little problem. I have several quilts that were made by my great grandmother. I love them and so I do have several of them out where I can look at them on a regular basis. Here's what happened. My very sweet lovely 3 year old daughter got a hold of my makeup the other day and she painted the walls with it. She also did a great job of painting one of my quilts with base. I realize this is pretty much my fault for leaving makeup low enough for her to reach and not keeping a better watch on my kid but either way it happened.(I just wanted to take a quick shower) It happened so fast. Anyways, she only used foundation/base on the quilt. I am wondering is there a way I can safely have it cleaned or has it been ruined beyond repair? I don't know much about quilts I just happen to have a few. I surely hate that this has happened. It is a pretty old quilt at lest 50 or 60 years probably much older than that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
