Tarheels are #1

Our beloved Tarheels beat their biggest rival Dook yesterday. If you don't follow basketball this is one of the fiercest rivalries in all of college sports. The two schools are 10 miles apart and always wanting to beat each other in everything. It was a great game . Our wonderful Tyler Hansbrough played his last home game as did Danny Green. Now it is on to the ACC tournament and then March Madness. For the next few weeks there will be 4 days of basketball. I just love it.

I stole some time on Saturday to make a name to send Tonya. Mine is a mini-autobiography. The N is on Tarheel fabric, the A is my favorite quilting colors, the second N is for all the years I spent teaching, the C is because I was a math teacher and the Y is on beach fabric because I love the beach. I will send it off to her this week.










The weather here this week is absolutely gorgeous, the 80s and beautiful blue skies. It makes you want to get outside. Hard to believe we were expecting snow last week this time. The grandson and I are going to plant some seeds this week. I think he is old enough to enjoy watching them grow. Our daughter is here today helping me with him and believe me he is in the midst of the "terrible twos". He wants things just the way he wants them right down to the cup he uses! They went to the park this morning followed by a picnic. Some times the simple things are the most fun.

I think you did a great job on your name! I like the "autobiography" aspect of it - very clever!
I've done my name for Tonya too, and have been debating whether or not to show it on my blog.

Thanks for the comments on my t-shirt quilt. I had to laugh because you're not going to like my college t-shirt quilt that I'm going to work on. All the t-shirts are from... Duke. And I just spent a long weekend at the ACC tourney with my Mom (an FSU graduate). It was a good tourney, as I'm sure you're aware. But from one basketball fan to another, this is a great time of year.
