I will be practising this weekend, I don’t get too many opportunities at the moment. It will be good to get a feel for free motion as I am pretty daunted by it. Love the fabrics you have selected they look great, can’t wait to see this one come together.

Please tell me we aren’t starting the North Pole until the new year! I recommend starting machine quilitng on a rag quilt. It’s smaller pieces, easier to handle, and you don’t have to worry about all that piecing before getting going. And when you are done, you have some good practice and a rag quilt for throwing around and using when you don’t want to use a good quilt.

I can’t draw to save my life but I doodle constantly. Don’t leave a pen near me when I’m on the phone or else every paper in sight will be covered with little designs :o) And if there are flyers or phone books nearby all the O’s will be filled in!
Wouldn’t a dry erase board be perfect for this?!

Lorrie, I am doodling in every spare moment,I find it very difficult. I have had the most success using a fancy letter L and with a figure 8 . I figured out how make a continuous line of hearts but they are very irregular in size and shape. I think I will give my brain a rest for today.

great stuff Lorrie – and I can testify to the tantrums – you’re doing a great job
