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.
Stitch a large scallop to create the body of the rooster and add several tail loops.
Stitch a larger scallop to create the bottom of the rooster’s body.
Stitch inside the rooster’s body to create the wing. Be creative here!

Echo stitch the body and add two legs.
Finish with a flourish–the Curlicue Knot!
