tielan: a vivid quilt in a rainbow of colours (quilting)

That's My Girl - A Maria Hill music video I found just today.

I'm listening to the Broadway recording of 'Come From Away' - I've seen the musical here in Sydney - and wept at half the songs, as one does. The thing I love about it is that it's a story about human experience in the face of tragedy and I love it.

Speaking of human experience:

on American exceptionalism )

Am I the only one getting tired of remakes? Flashbacks to the 80s? I know it's considered 'safe money' but the retrostalgia is becoming overpowering of late.

I can't even remember what this was for. Just that I saw it and thought, "oh, no, not again".

Hockey is going well, we topped our grade, have the semifinals to play. I scxored the last goal of our reguar season - a penalty stroke. I wasn't sure if I was going to take it or our Centre Striker was going to, but our team coach/manager/organiser looked at me and said, "you're good?"

It's always a bit unnerving to be facing off ilke this, but I got it in that little corner in the left, between her foot and her hand and the goal post.

We didn't *need* that goal, we already had one on the board, but it was nice to have that little bit of extra leeway and relief.

Now we just have to win against the team next week in the finals - a young team whose skills had us on the ropes to start with in our last game against them. Worryingly, at least one of our players is injured, she's possibly torn her meniscus - she's our most powerful and reliable scorer, dammit!

I have two quilts to get ready and up for the quilt show in September. Sandwiched the back-batting-top, quilted it on my home machine, then bound them - all in the last three days.

Just need to finish sewing down the binding on one, and then sleeve and label both. Then get them to the pickup point a couple of suburbs away. No rush. I've only been putting the damn thing off for the last, oh, 6 weeks...
