I feel like I am at a ball game!!!

Truth be told...I am not a big fan of baseball but this challenge really has me crying foul!!! Well, not really but the theme had me stumped.

I actually have had several tries to get this project going...

Striiiiiiiike one!!!!!

strike 1!!! 
Thread painting seemed like a great idea at the time but
I have discovered that I really DO NOT have the patience
to create a 16"x16" quilt in this technique!!!!



Striiiiiiike two!!!!!


strike 2!!!
This is an image transfer using Citra-Solv.
It was fun to try, even smelled good,
but even though my photograph isn't great,
this transfer was too light to work with.

Striiiiiii----------- 

Wait!
I think we have a winner!!!!

strike----!!! No we have a home run!!!

Yes, I think we do!!!!!
Don't you wanna know what it is!??? 

Well, I won't print the date since I messed that up last round 
but you will see the whole baseball diamond, so to speak, 
on reveal day!!!

  3. Sorry this has been a rough one, I've no doubt you've come up with something good after the first two strikes.
