Recent Projects

Now that school has started, we haven't had much going on (work, school and football is about it). We do have some fun plans in October, so maybe I'll post more next month. For now, though, my mom requested some pictures of recent quilting projects, so here you go!

One of my friends and I signed up to make quilts for a program called Quilts For Kids. They send the fabric, pattern, and instructions. We pieced and (still need to) quilt them. I kind of want to keep it though...

I have been slowly working on this Christmas quilt and finally finished it a few days ago. The pattern is from a fun quilting blog.

'Tis the Season...

...the football season that is. I forget every year how much Craig LOVES football, but am quickly reminded every August as the season rolls around. Now that we live in Nebraska he has another team to cheer for! We have season tickets to the Husker games and they are quite the experience. On home games, Memorial Stadium becomes the 3rd largest "city" in Nebraska - yesterday there were about 85,450 people at the game and it was nuts! Next year the stadium should hold 90,000+ fans.

Highlights from the game:
1. It was hot, like 95 degrees hot. Most fans were literally dripping with sweat and at least 2 fans were carried out on stretchers.
2. We stood.the.entire.time.
3. We spent at least $20 on bottled water.
4. Huskers won!
