Good Morning, Quilters!

I’ve really been enjoying all the comments from yesterday’s #RealSewingRoom post.    I guess I’m not alone–and as we all know-misery loves company!  (I think it may be a group case of co-enabling?!?)

Thanks for posting your photos on Instagram…if you want to see what is already posted, you must sign up for an Instagram account and then search:  realsewingroom or realsewingrooms….

While you’re there…check out the very funny #womenIRL (women in real life)…it never fails to amuse.

BETTER QUILTING THROUGH DOODLING

Next week in our Nautical Quilt-a-Long  we will be adding rows of scallops…(By the way, if you haven’t started–it’s not too late!)

Let’s get a head start by doodling our options.

The scallops will be in the one inch rows-so use that as your guide.

See how many variations of scallops you can doodle.

Once you have basic scallops, try adding embellishments in between.

In just a few minutes, you will have several new border motifs!

A FEW DAYS LEFT!

Don’t forget to enter for a chance to win my Craftsy video, Creative Free Motion:  From Doodle to Design.  The winner will be announced on Monday morning–when the class is open…I’m excited and nervous–I haven’t seen it yet!

TOMORROW

It’s Open Line Friday–and I need YOUR help–those pesky technical problems keep plaguing readers…if you have any expertise in this area please help us out tomorrow…

Also…I will dig through my sewing files and find the patterns for my three wall quilts…

Anything else???
