Aussie Animals Quilt Finished

There's nothing more satisfying than finishing a quilt, and when you can hand sew down binding during a two-hour car ride, it feels even more productive.

I was able to do that Saturday when DH and I went to the first home football game of the season at the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls.

Football isn't really my thing, but watching Panther games is more than tolerable because we do that indoors, in the UNI-dome. No matter how the fall or winter winds blow, or whether it's overcast or sunny, or even if it's 10 degrees (-12 C), in the dome it's a comfortable 72 degrees (22 C).

And when the Panthers win, as they did on Saturday, trouncing South Dakota by a score of 66 to 7, it's especially nice.

Aussie Animals finished at 44" X 49". And Baby Bub, our first grandson for whom this is intended, is due to appear in 17 days!
