Two - Nil !!!



Just 'enjoyed' a couple of 'footie' hours - I say that reservedly as the first three quarters of the match was highly boring and very dull.

As usual I struggle to just sit and watch TV so I ploughed away on another football front at the same time and stitched the first row of Nick's football quilt while turning around from the sewing machine to catch the pertinent bits of the action.

Of course the best bit was that both goals (in the final 5 minutes - talk about leaving it to the last minutes - were scored by Liverpool lads - Up The Reds!!! Sadly my little boy got so bored with the uneventful first half that he went out to play his own game of football in the playing field behind the half. He'll be sick he missed the two goals - but no doubt as usual UK TV will repeat it all ad nauseum!

My next line on the quilt will have 'F.A. Cup Champions 2006' and then I plan to do all the names of the squad :o) Really enjoyed doing this and starting to get the hang of it now.

It looks great so far! Do you have a pattern for the letters? I just read about your dd's sad story- I left a comment on that post-I didn't think about leaving it here-sorry. I hope she is recovering! Look forward to seeing more of the quilt.
