It's Super Bowl Sunday.
Whether you're a football fan, have a team in the game that you're pulling for [or against!], or are a football widow(er)... if you're also a maker, chances are you'll be stitching something while you're watching/listening to/avoiding today's broadcast.
So, what kind of stitching will you be doing today?

Creating a ruched embellishment.
