Well, the biggest sewing disaster wasn't caused by me but my 100lb Akita. He normally doesn't ever go into my sewing room but every once in a while when he wants a quiet place to lay down, he'll sneak in there away from the other little hyper dog and noise in the house. He loves to lay on things. This one day he seen a quilt top that I had on my table and pulled it down, then got it tangled up in the rollers of my chair. When I saw my quilt top I was livid. all of the center were embroidered blocks and then the outside rows were civil war blocks, most of them are ruined. I think I can salvage the inside blocks but most of outside ones are history, some I already have made but the corners were civil war reversed applique which really looked great. I still haven't investigated to see what all I'll have to do to save this, its been almost a yr. I cry to think about it. So many hours spent on the 5in outside blocks and all of the embroidered blocks for the center. Oh well, things happen and since it wasn't done for spite by someone what can you say. He just wanted something to lay on, the carpet wasn't enough
