“Love is the most important thing in the world, but baseball is pretty good, too.” – Yogi Berra
Welcome to the first day of the
Hearts on Fire Blog Hop!
I'm happy to kick things off with
Play Ball!
only the heart can't be the color red.
Thank you, Carol, for inviting me to join this super fun blog hop!
My heart is on fire for baseball.
I quilt what I love.
It may be that baseball for me means family time
whether we are watching a little league game, big league (Go Royals!), or any game in between.
The game always seems to bring us together.
That's my sister, our dad, my son, me, and my sister's youngest son. We were watching my sister's oldest son play baseball last summer.
My sister has 3 sons that play baseball. If they aren't playing they are practicing and not just during the summer, but year-round.
I made this quilt for her. Baseball this time of year can be quite chilly.
The quilt is 54" x 60" and will be perfect in the stands.
I have been working on stash management and cut all the pieces from my white and grey scrap boxes.
Next, I used purchased bias tape for the baseball stitches and quilted it with straight lines.
I sandwiched batting between the top and the very special fleece backing.
I am so excited to go and watch my nephew play university ball and
his mom can share her quilt with me.
Or, maybe I should make one for myself...

I love putting hearts in quilts, don't you?
I'm sure by the end of the blog hop, you will have more ideas than time.
I always end up that way...
Maybe if we could all go hang out at a baseball game the world would be a happier place.
