The quilt I mended by appliqueing leaf shapes over the pulled-out seams. I sewed around the leaf edges before cutting them out, and then sewed them onto the quilt by hand.
The sheet I mended by a combination of darning and patching. Darns for the small frayed areas, and patches for the rips, after first closing them with an "antique seam"
The sheet lasted for two whole days before tearing again. I am not quite ready to purchase a replacement sheet at current retail prices--and accessibility since we are still vehicularly-challenged--so I'm patching it again.
In the meantime, an old cotton blanket and the large piece of cotton upholstery fabric that I formerly used as a rug are filling in. It is like camping at home.
