Ducks Celebration Quilt

Wednesday, November 18, 2009

The Ducks won the Stanley Cup in 2007!! That was such an awesome, unforgettable season. Kevin and I were fortunate to attend almost every playoff game that season. (Somehow Kevin was out of town for the last game when the Ducks actually won the Cup. I was there to see the Ducks win the Cup and it was an incredible experience!) Yes, the Ducks are lousy this year, but we can still look back on the 2006-2007 season with fond memories.

At each hockey playoff game, each fan is given a towel to wave during the game. We collected a lot of towels during the 2006-2007 playoffs, and we've collected a few more during the playoffs in the subsequent two seasons.

My mom graciously volunteered to make a quilt out of our collection of towels. (We share season tickets with my parents, so she made a second quilt with their towels). One side features the orange towels and on the other side is warm, black fleece. It's a cozy, memory-evoking blanket that we use at home and that we will take to Ducks games. Thanks, Mom, for making an awesome quilt! We love it!
