Doodle a Pumpkin!

Good Morning, Quilters!

  “I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion”

–Henry David Thoreau

(I wonder if Mr. Thoreau ever saw the  gorgeous velvet pumpkins available now—I’d like to see the philosophical pretzel twisting to decide where to sit then!?)

Our friend, Andrea has a pumpkin tutorial HERE — now where to find some velvet???

We couldn’t have a week of pumpkins without a little doodling….

HOW TO DOODLE A PUMPKIN

It’s EASY– pumpkins are so irregular in nature–one simply can’t go wrong!

Begin by drawing an oval.

On either side of the oval, attach an elongated letter “C” and a reverse letter “C”.

Now add another “C” and reverse “C”–this time draw the “C’s” a little taller.

Add a stem…

And quilt  doodle as desired!
Don’t stop at one…When you’re finished doodling–Quilt a pillow…
