Huge hockey fans live in my house and they are so excited ... The LA Kings won the Stanley Cup last night ... First time ever! It is fun to see your husband, son and daughter so happy ... They're acting just like little kids!
My husband has been a hockey fan for years and years ... odd to find in San Diego as most people don't follow hockey here, even though the Kings are so close to us ... LA is only about 2 1/2 hours north of SD. He passed his love for hockey onto both our kids, and the three of them have been rooting for the Kings for years. They've gone to see them at the Staple Center in Los Angeles many times, and even managed to drag me on oaccasion. Here is my hubby and son celebrating the victory last night with their own makeshift "Stanley Cup." Our daughter had gone to bed already, so she didn't get in on their celebration.

Amidst all this excitement around the hockey playoffs (which is what our family's life has been revolving around intensely the last two weeks), I have managed to get more quilting done. I am finally feeling like I'm getting caught up with my work, and I feel so much better ... I don't feel like I'm carrying the weight of the world anymore! I hate being behind ... I always pride myself on getting things done in a timely fashion and I considerable myself reliable ... it is one of my worst fears to NOT be considered that and to cross over to the other side!!!
This is a quilt I did last week for a friend ... it's a beautiful log cabin that she started years ago. I love log cabin quilts ... I love their simplicity and the subtle or not-so-subtle designs they can make.
Look at all those fabrics ... some of them might be awful on their own or in larger pieces, but when you throw them together into a scrappy quilt ...
... you get perfection! Look at that awesome design ... I've never made a log cabin quite this striking. I just love it! Karen likes a simple design, so I thought it best to just stipple the quilt. I used a 30 wt. cotton on top (I'm not sure what brand it was ... maybe Permacore), and Glide in the bobbin. All free motion!
And there it is in it's full glory ... I love it! It makes me want to go grab all my scraps and sew up a log cabin .. I think I will!!! Have a great day!

don't those log cabin quilts work up fabulously? Old old pattern but one of my favorites. Great job, colleen! And congratulations on the Stanley Cup win ... woo woo!
