Cockadoodledo, Quilters!

Are you ready to go this morning?  Do YOU have your Doodle-Do pad ready?

(More importantly, have you had your first cup of coffee???)

Our Ridiculous Rooster is ready for the day–so let’s get crackin’!

THE RIDICULOUS ROOSTER-A MACHINE QUILTING TUTORIAL

This motif begins with Mr.Rooster’s head and ends with his tail.  It’s best to tie off between each motif.

Begin by stitching a tight clockwise spiral, ending on the left side of the spiral.

Add a triangle beak and several loops to create the comb.

Stitch to the bottom of the spiral and add four curved lines, ending on the right side.
