Dallas Cowboy Quilt

It football season and I love to watch it.  I am a Dallas Cowboy fan. I was born and raised in Dallas so it is only natural that I am a Cowboy fan.  In my family growing up the women in the  were just as much or more of a football fan as the men.  I used to go to many of the Cowboy games growing up in the 70's.  I loved watching Roger Staubach play, and of course our big rival was and is the Washington Redskins.  Now I live in the Washington DC suburbs and my family is a house divided.   My oldest daughter and I are the Cowboy fans and my youngest daughter and husband are the Redskin fans.  It is very interesting in the house when they play each other as they do twice a year.

With football season starting, I decided to make a Dallas Cowboy quilt.  I found a pattern in Quick Quilts October/November 2010 magazine.

The pattern showed the New Orleans Saints, but it was easy enough to change to Dallas Cowboys (my local Joanne Fabric Store had Dallas Cowboy fabric).  I went to Suzzie's Quilt shop to get the other fabrics and I was telling her that I had eyelashes on the back of the Halloween Twister quilt.

Suzzie sell Jonome sewing machines, which is the brand of my machine.  She showed me a different bobbin holder that is supposed to get rid of the eyelashes, so I bought it.  It is the best investment I have made in a long time.  I had no eyelashes on my Dallas Cowboy quilt.

Now I'm ready for those cold winter  days to watch football.
