Happy Sochi Yum Yum
May 28th, 2011
Last winter I was stalking Russian athletes on my whirlwind Mo’lympic trip to Vancouver, BC during the Winter Olympics. I fell crazy madly in love with their swirly-que Russian team attire. Crazy. Mad. Love! The Norwegian’s got me excited in a quilty way too, but nothing like Team Russia’s attire from BOSCO Sports.
I suspected with Russia being the host country for the next Winter Olympics in 2014 - that the red and white swirly-que motif was just Sochi’s flirtatious design fore-play. Oh Sochi, you tease! I really should put a parental warning rating on this blog post for what the Sochi 2014 Organizing Committee recently released…
Prepare yourself.
Towel up.

If you’re a quilter, probably right around now you’re OMG’ing.

I wonder if Sochi rhymes with Mochi?

Dear Today Show/Bob Costas - just in case you need a woman-on-the-street for quilt reporting… my passport is current, I travel light, I do a kick ass Jan Brady impersonation and I love cabbage & beets.

May 30th, 2011Blimey O’Riley! What fabulous colours, so Yum Yum. But I prefer your free spirit style, so fluid and yet gentle! Give me Happy Mochi Yum Yum any day Darling! X
May 30th, 2011WOW — I saw that somewhere but didn’t really realize the full implications. When Bob calls you to duty, I feel confident you’ll need your SW’s at your side! ;-D
May 31st, 2011My passport is current TOO so if you need someone to carry your bags………I’m up for the challenge!!!
May 31st, 2011OMG! Yum yum indeed!!!
May 31st, 2011I love the Olympics. I was a volunteer for the 1988 Winter Olympics - the “office” attire looked like someone threw up spaghetti made on the set of Miami Vice. Hilarious. Clearly no one on that design team had a quilting background!! Haha
May 31st, 2011I cannot believe what i am seeing! you are too funny as well! i did need to towel up for that!
May 31st, 2011Oh! My! Gosh! I want to go too!
June 1st, 2011I totally said OMG in my head when I saw the picture!! haha.. I LOVE it. Russia has outdone themselves!! And I LOVE Bob Costas - you have to become his quilt reporter!!
June 1st, 2011Yay for the Winter Olympics!!
WAOW. love.

thanks for sharing the photos/link!
June 1st, 2011That is some serious overwhelming, OMG stuff. On another note who doesn’t love cabbage and beets? : )
June 2nd, 2011I’m so far behind on my reading. I can’t believe how beautiful! Mochi/Sochi/Sis Boom! Has JP seen these?! Their website though–yuck. What’s up with the weird mascot house and funky scrolling?! Good find–how exciting!
June 2nd, 2011Whoa.
June 3rd, 2011Yes! Yes! Yes! Need a traveling companion?
June 4th, 2011I see lots of Sochi quilts being made! Seriously, that’s just awesome. I hope Bob Costas takes you up on your offer. I’m oretty sure that any broadcast you were involved in would be far more entertaining that what we normally get. :)
June 5th, 2011I completely agree! I love this swirl pattern so much I googled it to see what else I can find! I’m thinking it might be my new wallpaper on my phone!!! Thanks for sharing!
June 6th, 2011Sochi is a beautiful city. For the Olympics it will be even better. Your blog is very nice and informative. I’m now your follower. With love from Russia.
