Terrific Tuesday!

Will it be terrific? I plan to make it sew! LOL

Not much progress sewing yesterday. Remember when I said I wasn’t EXACTLY following the instructions Lori gave for the QAL? Yeah, well that can come back and bite you.

I could either trim the border so it fit 6 HSTs along one aide or rip them off and add larger ones. Think I am going to rip but this indecision coupled with a few other things kept me from moving ahead with this. I do have all the HSTs sewn.
In other news, Daughter #2 left new dog in the crate yesterday for her first day back to work. A friend checked on her a couple hours later and found this:

One $70 crate destroyed in under 3 hours! Yikes! I spent some time researching other options for her. Here’s hoping this one works out better.

DH has been working away setting me up with a new computer. He is hardwiring internet. Now I can do this:

That is my Singer Futura embroidery machine. He is upgrading the software on that for me too. He even got me this cool mouse:

    You must be so excited for the updated computer/sewing machine! What a high tech gal you’ll be!!
    Love your block so far…. The latest border looks like it will fit on a different side if you add one more hst. 7 on each side and 9 on the other 2 sides?
