I spent most of yesterday trying to solve problems that irk me.
I called the power company to come look at the guy wire that has grown into the tree that must be taken down before it wrecks our house. He said he'd come have a look at it. If he came yesterday, I missed him and haven't heard from him.
The second call was to the company where we bought the hipper/hiller/row-maker to tell them that FedEx damaged the package (since I haven't received any response from FedEx). They are out of stock and can't send a replacement. They are going to refund our money.
Still waiting on a call from the septic tank pumper.
On the bright side, the replacement motor for the leaf shredder arrived yesterday.
On the even brighter side, The Husband figured out how to replace the motor, all by himself, and when he turned it on, it worked, and nothing flew off.
Today, I'm going to finish quilting the heart shapes on Rows 3, 4, and 5. Although I intend to forge ahead as I'm doing - the project is too far along to turn back now - I'm not happy with the way it's turning out. The seams are not matching well, and the backing is bulging around the edges of the blocks.
[Eight hours later]
Well, the quilt rows are all joined together. It's on the sewing table now, having its batting joined. Tomorrow, I'll start blind-stitching that long, final top seam.
It's a shame that I'm just now catching on to better ways of doing things when I'm near the end.
