well this didn't work

I saw leah day painting the world and loved it , you should check out the video.

I of course didn't want to do the same thing so thought of a soccer ball for some unknown reason.

and figured this would be my weekly 5 x 7 project

first I quilted for some texture

I mixed it with a gel medium thinking it would go on better - WRONG - red shows thru

so then put it on right from the jar - WRONG - to cakey (is that a word?)

ok, so this won't be a total loss, let me play with different stitches on my machine.

So I did and found the perfect stitch that looks like the seam on a baseball or soccer ball for a future project.

then labeled each with machine # and stitch width.

Now how smart am I?  :-)
