Full Stop

Megan, from Sydney Australia is one of my proofreaders. If I miss a comma, a dash or a period (which Megan refers to as a 'full stop,') Megan will point it out. Megan's comments encompass EVERYTHING from spelling to grammar, to gently suggesting an extra line or two of instructions for what she calls "the novices."

I had to insert a lot of "full stops" into the letter tutorial, so that term has been on my mind.

Judy in Michigan wondered if I should have a comma after the first NO in the Not Paper Pieced quilt. So I made one and put it in.

I did not like it.

I did not like a slash shaped comma much either.

Didn't like the "full stop" much either.

Didn't like the dash.

And although I liked the gal holding the scissors, it didn't really sing for me.

THE CAT, however, does it for me! I will have to move him a bit closer, but his scowl gets the point across.

The CAT is the full stop.

As all good cats are, I suppose.

I'm teaching the letters class at Quilted Threads on Saturday, May 4th. If you sign up, you get a digital copy of the tute.


If you would like to make your own free pieced letters, you can get my tutorial at my Etsy shop here. It's an instant download, so you can get started right away.
