The Adventures of Curl Girl & Flat Stonely

@curlgirl82

Flat Stonely is a curling stone from Hollywood, California, and I'm Curl Girl, the crazy curling obsessed cutie that goes with him. In Summer of 2013, we travelled all over Europe, trying to win USA Curling's Most Creative FAN contest. (We like to think we took a close second place to our pal Matt, who won the Fargo FANdango contest, but that's completely unofficial!) These are our continued adventures, both on and off the ice, focused around the roaring game!

My latest #quilt is another charity quilt, this time for @hollywoodcurl’s Summer Blockbuster Bonspiel. This was my first foray into FPP (foundation paper piecing), and @stars_sunshine’s excellent block pattern was easy to follow. Curling rock pattern by Julia Eigenbrodt. Quilt layout and design by Liza Beres.

That’s the good news. Finland’s Death Metal Curlers just had a really bad start and no amount of power chords couldn’t bring them back into the game. John Shuster had a hit for three points to end the ninth, forcing handshakes and forlorn rockers.

Now for the bad news: all the other 4-2 teams...

I'm going to be holding my breath for ten ends this morning. It's do or die for USA.

The Roar of the Rings is going on this weekend — it’s probably about as high caliber of a curling tournament as we may see all year. Possibly better than the Olympics. Whoever wins the Roar is guaranteed to be a gold medal favorite in Sochi. That’s just how Canadian curling goes. They’re the SEC...

I know, it's old news by now. And I knew about it days ago. But I am just now getting around to posting it. Ron Burgundy plus the Roar of the Rings Canadian Olympic Curling Trials = AWESOMENESS.

Check out this awesome time-lapse of the ice going in for the US Olympic Trials in Fargo two weeks ago! I saw them take it out, but this is a cool way to see it go in.

While in #Fargo, #FlatStonely met his social media idol @terry_usacurl. What an awesome weekend! #OlympicTrials #curling #RoadtoSochi (at Scheels Arena)

Well, that was fun, if slightly anticlimactic. Erika Brown’s team edged Allison Pottinger in two close games to win a spot to the 2014 Olympics. Brown draw to the eight-foot circle — with backing — to clinch the victory, a relatively easy shot, but the difficulty is always escalated when the...

Dear United States curling fans, As a Canadian curling fan, Iâm sheltered. I sometimes take the game for granted. When I feel the need to curl, all I have to do is visit one of several curling club...

Matt and I had a few drinks with Kyle at the bar the other night, and talked at length about a lot of what he wrote in this article. He sums it up so well. So great meeting you Kyle!
