How to Doodle and Quilt a Bouquet of Flowers

Good Morning, Quilters and Doodlers!

Today we have an example of how to doodle and quilt a bouquet of flowers.

YOU doodle, right!?  If you’ve been reading this blog for any length of time, you are sure to know that I consider it one of the most important things you can do as a quilter!

If you are a quilter–you must become a doodler!!!   (and if you are a doodler–perhaps it’s time to become a quilter!?)

Before I go on, a quick announcement….

Let’s Meet up at Quilt Expo!

If you are attending WI quilt expo this week, we would LOVE to meet YOU!

Faye and I will be in the food court around 3:00 on Thursday -(Following my class, Easy Machine Quilting)

We would love to meet YOU and talk about quilting, doodling, Bears v. Packers, see what you have bought at the show, family…

I’ll look for YOU–and YOU look for us!

Back to How to Doodle and Quilt a Bouquet of Flowers

I am not exaggerating when I say I doodle a motif hundreds of times before I sit down to stitch!

Hundreds of times doesn’t take that long.  I doodle a few minutes here and there.  I doodled these flowers while watching TV one night. (along with a lot of doodles that went straight to recycling.)

Doodling helps you create smoother stitching lines!

Doodle and Quilt Flowers Challenge

Today, I would like to challenge you to doodle and quilt a flower motif.

Choose  flowers and leaves from the Flower and Leaf Motif Collection

Create your own bouquet by using a combination of motifs together.

Then stitch your favorite!

Finding More of YOUR Favorites

Did you ever notice this at the end of every blog post?

We would LOVE if YOU shared LKQ on your social media…It really helps us!

Below that are two headings, Categories and Tagged

Categories- Click on the highlighted words and you will be taken to all the posts in that category.

Tags-Tags are more helpful when you are doing a search. For example, you might remember a tutorial for a cat, but you can’t remember the exact name of the tutorial (The Cool Cat). Type “cat” into the search bar and the tag allows you to find the tutorial.  Also, if there is more than one post or tutorial about ferns, clicking on the word will help you find it quickly.

Thanks for Sharing on YOUR Social Media!

Hope to see YOU at Quilt Expo!

and don’t forget to doodle!

Yours,
