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,
Be sure to review both of these lessons before beginning today’s lesson.
THE SWEEP BECOMES A LEAF
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”.
When you combine the two lines…they make a leaf.
Once you feel comfortable with the right leaf,
Doodle a page of left leaves.
Start with the lower doodle and add the upper doodle from the photo below….
Repeat several Leaves to create a vine.
Next, alternate right and left leaves for a new design.
For more detail, add a loop inside each leaf…
And alternate right and left to create this gorgeous vine.
Any one of these motifs would be perfect for a quilt border.
Choose YOUR favorite and go right to the sewing machine!
Leaf-LOVE,
Lori
