My Brackets Below
I live in Basketballburg USA, Lawrence, Kansas
You may not know that we lost a big game last weekend.
I wouldn't even bring it up, but I had big plans---
Deb Rowden and I are working on a book about sports quilts featuring Jayhawk basketball quilts.
Deb found one from the 1930s with James Naismith's and Phog Allen's signatures on it.
We made one with signatures of former coaches and players.
How could we have lost?
The show must go on and the book will be out in July.
Why didn't we feature Northern Iowa?
Everyone is upset. Check out this youtube video to see a Hitleresque rage:

I could probably photoshop some Northern Iowa Panthers onto those shoes

Don't you put that stinkin' pussycat on top of our Hawks! Yes, we lost too soon, and yes, it was a huge disappointment- but don't take your grief in that direction.
Give it time. In a year, you can proudly fill out another bracket with KU.
oh, I feel soooo bad! (I live 60 miles from Mizzou) LOL! No just kidding! I am not a sports maninac. My thoughts on sports are, once the area team is out, root for ones left from your conference. (don't tell anyone from this area that I rooted for KU, lol!) Anyway that wasn't my real comment. It was this.......
Those basketball shoes on that quilt are so cute! I look forward to seeing your new book. I own and enjoy a couple of your civil war books. Cyndi
While I feel for your loss, we here in Iowa are so tickled with our UNI Panthers (even though I'm an Iowa State Cyclone alumi). Remember, there's always next year!
Great quilt! Love the basketball shoes! Thanks for sharing!
