Mentor issues with the app?

My mentor is kind of unconventional and literally only calls me if explicitly requested (with a good enough reason too- he’s been known to text responses over calling)

But today he texts me unprompted and is like hey how’s the course going, is there anything me or instructor can do? Why aren’t you resuming coursework?

I responded that it was going great and I had been pretty consistent with coursework, about the enter the final module.

Then I get a whole bunch of texts like:
“the university is concerned for your progress” and “you shouldn’t be using the app, it’s incomplete and meant to supplement”

Like bro, if I can access the textbook from my iPad and it’s easier for me to study mobile while chasing toddlers is that not allowed?

Anyways. Rant over. Has anyone else gotten this spiel from their mentor?

It was not the ugliest quilt. But I do think it’s much prettier now!

UPDATE: (I’ll also show the pics in the second slide)

Now she’s ready to be quilted!

I adjusted some things and added 1.5 inch (finished) sashing. It grew from a throw I lowkey hated to a twin quilt my mom and daughter are fighting over!

Thank you for indulging my dramatics. I see those “I hate it” posts all the time and never thought it would happen to me.

If you wanna do this type of pattern- I didn’t measure the long sashing rows very well and just pinned and prayed lol. But it took 160 2.5 inch squares and 40 pieces of a layer cake! Then 40 10x2 inch rectangles and a lot of long 2 inch strips for the longer sashing.

Sorry the pictures are weird, I have no other layout space than my bed.

I got this layer cake for Christmas and finally found a pattern I thought I’d like for it- snowballed corners set on point. As I was sewing the snowballs I was so excited, but now that it’s in layout stage I want to pull my hair out and maybe cry.

I gave up on making a balance layout towards the top. The only setting triangles that are “set” are the corner pinks, everything else is still whole and could be moved.

Is this able to be saved? Do I trash it? Give it to someone I secretly hate? Aaaaaaaaaaa

Major ISOs are charming carosel horses, the fantasyland and Tomorrowland park pal emblems, small world, castles, and the castle D from the keys.

I’m also just here for the love of the game so post whatever ya got.

Also note- I know for a fact a dalmation pin is a scrapper. If I have any other suspicions on pins I’ll be sure to put that in. It’s just my daughter’s pin so she wanted a pic of it too.

USA based traders only please :)
