CABOOSE MACHINE QUILTING TUTORIAL
Begin by drawing two lines 3 inches apart. Add a line 3/4 inch above the bottom line.
Stitch two Silly Spirals, ending on the right side of the wheel.
Stitch over the wheel. Stitch two to three stitches between the wheels and over the front wheel.
Stitch up and create a bumper….then stitch a straight line. Add a rectangle.
Stitch over and back to complete the top of the Caboose. Stitch to the left, and drop down to create a small window.Stitch a second rectangle window.
Stitch a straight line down to finish the Caboose.
This would be an adorable border on ANY quilt!
Just a little doodling and lots of ways to personalize…
I think I can, I think I can, I think I can….
I THOUGHT I could, I THOUGHT I could, I THOUGHT I Could!
YOU can do this!!!
