Baseball Paper Weight Reviewed by Priscilla Wong on 2009-04-01 ****
Made this as a gift for a friend's birthday. It was very easy to make. The difficult part was the red stitching only because I am not good with decorative freehand stitches. In the end, it turned out great. Too bad I didn't have pellets. I just stuffed it with poly-fil.
