OKAY, OKAY...DEEP BREATH

                                       Remember this SAL that Lori had a while back?

I was SO proud of myself for getting those little squares and crosses
together and the SIDE TRIANGLES cut and on; well, I mean you know how
triangle challenged I am, right?

Whoever said "..pride goeth before a fall..", well, they were SO right!!

Look what happened when I decided to first, use a stencil to mark
a pattern and used this blue pen that advertised "erasable, removable",

See those freakin'  (pardon my french!) blue marks-well, I've tried EVERYthing
to remove them and they just won't come off..they keep coming back....

                                     Anywaaay...S I G H 

So--I pulled up my big girl sewing pants and took off the
triangle to replace it..and then.....................

THIS HAPPENED:>>>>

Can you see the seams on all those (previously perfect) little squares are
coming apart on me????????? I was careful removing the stitching, too...but
they just split apart.....

So now what...
                                                   any suggestions..???.

I just love this little piece and am so upset....😝😝😝
Tempting to just shove it back into the "Drawer of Shame", but I really want to
quilt it....
And it's layered ready to quilt...hmmmmpf, as if....;000:((((

This made today's freezing rain, sleet and snow pale in comparison...
I'll leave you to get my 2nd package of kleenex now....

(",,,problems , we've got problems, stacks and stacks
of problems..." and Perry Como won't be able to solve this either--
 for all you ancient ones, like me!!)
