A Quick Doodle Challenge

August 24, 2017

Doodles, Flowers

Good Morning, Quilters!

A quick review of a doodle challenge we first tried almost two years ago….

Glue a piece of your favorite fabric onto a sheet of paper.

Use the lines as inspiration and create your own design.  Continue some of the lines, echo other lines and mirror image some of the shapes.

This is a fun way to get your pen moving and enjoy your fabric scraps.

Work quickly–in other words, don’t think too much. Work intuitively.

If you have time, try a second fabric or stitch your design.

Better Quilting Through Doodling!

 

Happy Doodling!

Fare the well, fare the well…

Lori

    Amazing idea! I’ve done that with a piece of NG magazine paper and I liked the results very much.
    Never thought doing it with fabric…

    This is an idea I need to try! Like most “fabric collectors”, I have some amazing fabric with great lines and details and they’d be so much fun to draw! Thank you!

    Just lovely, Lori. But what is that fabric, your favorite? – it is marvelous.

    You said don’t think too much but I read, “Don’t drink too much.” Both good advice. Ha.

      I ‘read’ the same thing!! I thought you were just being humorous, Lori. Good thing I read the comments this time to correct my misread. ????
