The quilting is moving along slowly. Today I sewed 2 lines the complete length of the quilt BUT - that Michigan State Spartan fabric has kind of a rubbery texture (thanks, Kevin) and it broke the needle on the sewing machine. I don't need much of an excuse to stop sewing, and that was the perfect excuse. As Scarlett said, "Tomorrow is another day".
Poor old sad Michigan played a poor sad old game tonight. We couldn't even watch most of the second half. It was dismal. The other shoe has dropped. This from mgoblue.com:

Michigan's Win Streak Ends With Loss at No. 23 Iowa
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- The University of Michigan men's basketball team (No. 21 AP, No. 20 ESPN/USA Today) was stunned with a 94-66 loss at Iowa, Saturday (Feb. 4), at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. The Wolverines (16-4, 6-3 Big Ten) seemingly had full control over the contest in the first half, but the Hawkeyes (18-5, 7-2 Big Ten), who have not surrendered a victory at home in 15 games, shot 65.3 percent (32-of-49) overall compared to the Wolverines' 41.5 percent (22-of-53) to cut off Michigan's winning streak at five games.
I hope the Super Bowl is a much more inspirational game, and I hope the Steelers WIN.
Go Steelers, right Chip?
