More Sweep Doodles-Leaves

November 17, 2016

Sweep Doodles, Lori Kennedy

Good Morning, Quilters and Doodlers!

Today is a doodle day!

Last time we had Doodle Class, we were working on one of the essential quilt doodles,  The Sweep

Once you are comfortable with basic right and left Sweeps,

Add on to the Sweep here

Be sure to review both of these lessons before beginning today’s lesson.

THE SWEEP BECOMES A LEAF

Sweep Doodles, Lori Kennedy

To make this lovely leaf,

Begin by doodling the basic sweep (lower of the two doodles below)

Then “Sweep” back-from right to left with a shallow “sweep”.

Sweep Doodles, Lori KennedyWhen you combine the two lines…they make a leaf.

Doodle a page of left leaves.

Start with the lower doodle and add the upper doodle from the photo below….

Choose YOUR favorite and go right to the sewing machine!

Leaf-LOVE,

    Hi Lori! Thank you for all the tips and especially your Craftsy class. Loving it! I keep going back and then, tah dah, I get these great tips from you via email.
    I’m pretty sure I won’t see you for the holidays (grin) so happiest Holidays to you, yours and all your readers, students. 🙂

    Just finished an autumn table topper. This border idea will be perfect! Thanks as always for the timely inspiration.

    Oooooooo … aren’t you the clever bunny, turning a simple sweep into a vine of stacked leaves. Does your mind ever rest? It must be a ‘lady dog’ trying to sleep with all those ideas swirling around in your head ?

      Wish I had more time to put the ideas on fabric!

    That would be just perfect in rich brown with some appliqued red berries and gold cording for highlights ’bout 30″ round table cover. I would love even the beta version! I can see it now……XXO KEK

    I have both your Craftsy classes and I am learning ever so slowly..I have found a way to express myself in quilting… thankfully with inspired teachers we can all succeed.
    Thanks (another Minnesotan)
