Good morning! How are you today?
My husband has been working down south for most of the month. Last Friday he called me and asked what Lucky and I were doing.
"I miss baseball," I told him.
Hubby likes hockey and football but those sports don't appeal to me. I love everything baseball and if I can't watch a game, I'll take one of the amazing baseball movies that have been made through the decades. Still, I longed for a good Phillies game.
Lucky would like baseball and his spring shirt is hanging in the sewing room as we await warmer weather.
Over the weekend, in between watching Moneyball and A League of Their Own, I spent some time in the sewing room. I made a Phillies quilt for Chase, age 5 and am now working on a baby quilt for Brody, not quite 4 months. I decided to make these because Justin (their Dad) is a Phillies fanatic like me. I'm hoping that Justin and Chase (and someday Brody), like the quilts. Here is the top I finished for Chase. It's about 55 x65 inches:
The fabric has been sitting in my sewing room since last fall. My husband came with me when I purchased it; it's the only time he expressed any interest in a quilt fabric and he even became a bit bossy about fabric choices.
One day last week, I dreamt I assembled the quilt with rail fence type blocks flanking the Phillies fabric. The very next day I plugged in "baseball quilt" and this layout came up on Pinterest. Magic, just like the game of baseball.
Have you made any sports themed quilts?
Wishing you a safe and happy day!
