It is time for our September “I Love Home” Block of the Month giveaway–and time to start quilting Block 2.

Pop over to Jacquelynne Steve’s Art of Home to download the pattern.

For my quilt, I changed the color way so I can add the house pattern in free motion quilting.

TIME TO DOODLE

The best time to begin planning the machine quilting is while you are piecing the blocks.  I like to draw the shapes to be quilted onto a note pad and doodle quilt ideas while I’m watching TV.

It’s a great way to try out ideas before stitching.

DOODLE IDEAS

I recommend you draw the basic house and then look at different motifs to decorate. (HINT:  There are a wide variety of motifs available in Free Motion Machine Quilting 1-2-3:  Easy Loops, Scallops, Hearts, Tulips, Dizzy Daisy, The Basic House, Trees…. Get a signed copy (along with a little surprise) from my Etsy shop HERESLEEP ON IT

It is best to doodle on several different days.  The first design is rarely the best design and by working over several sessions, you allow your subconscious to work on it as well!

WIN! WIN! WIN!

To win the fabric bundle,please leave a comment.  Tell me…Do YOU doodle before you machine quilt?  Has YOUR subconscious ever solved a problem or helped you with a design?  Do you do your own quilting?  Or just say “Hi!”

Signed,

The Happy Home-Doodler,

Lori

    I have been reading about some of your quilting designs for free motion quilting and want to get brave enough to try them–I guess nothing ventured, nothing gained!

    I love your designs and they help me doodle and discover designs of my own. I will draw out a block or two and then make a bunch of copies of the drawn block and try doodling many different designs in the blocks until I find a design that I am happy with.

    Reading your blog has inspired and motivated me to set a goal to doodle on a daily basis
