Did You Know….

that some people really love college football?

Like, love.it.

My experiences with college football are pretty minimal.

My home town’s college team wasn’t worth mentioning for a long while.  {No offense, James.}

And the college I went to only had a foot ball team as a matter of protocol.

They were pretty pathetic.

And then I married Bryce,

and met his family,

and hung out with some of his friends.

and let’s just say I talk a bit more college football then I used to.

One of Bryce’s good friends {mine, now, too} recently moved to Texas and commissioned me to make a little bit of home town love for them.

And I said ‘yes’.

{If you look closely, it says ‘sucker’ across my forehead….}

I was 35 weeks pregnant at the time.

Which wasn’t the bigger issue.

I had never machine quilted before.

In my life.

But….

I had looked at quite a few tutorials

and watched some YouTube videos.

{Famous last words…}

Let’s just say after five hours of unpicking, eight broken needles in two hours and a stream of undermybreath curse words….

I changed tactics and consulted my sewing manual.

After which I got it done in like two hours….

Until my machine broke.

But with in minutes of posting the tragedy, my friend had her sewing machine dropped off at my house.

And I finished up the project last night,

apparently with plenty of time to spare because this baby is not.coming.any.time.soon.

It’s reversible.

And I made some game-day bunting with the extra fabric.

I also put together a matching pillow sham which I was too lazy to photograph….

One project down, 52 to go.
