WIP: postcard for Judy's Studio Million Miles postcard challenge

Finally, I've made some time to participate again in Judy's Million Mile postcard challenge.

Judy's theme for June is "Hit the Road". Even though we do have a professional baseball team in Winnipeg named the "Goldeyes", I do love to travel to MLB games as much as I can afford to do... so hitting the road in the summer, very often means travelling to a baseball game. 

Baseball conjures the voice of James Earl Jones, memories of playing scrub on the farm, watching the World Series (once harvest was finished) with my Dad, playing softball with my friends, and enjoying "a dog and a beer" with my honey.

This was a very quickly done fabric postcard. It is playful and simple, not planned, not contrived.

This post illustrative. The images below show my progress.

  1. Nice job, very creative using a theme fabric. I've popped over to visit about the million mile postcard challenge. And while its a hot idea, I've got more than enough to keep me busy.

    1. Thanks, Pam! I would like to use more of that baseball fabric... perhaps I should make another "I spy..." quilt.
