Good Morning, Quilters and Doodlers!
Remember this doodle exercise from last Thursday?
I couldn’t resist the question: Can this doodle become a quilt?
I did not trace the page of doodles…the idea was enough.
Instead, I used these circle templates–purchase at an office supply store-to compose right on my fabric.
I stitched all of the circles in dark purple thread.
Aurifil 50 wt cotton was perfect!
And of course, I was stitching on my domestic sewing machine–the lovely BERNINA 770QE.
Once the circles were complete, I changed to a heavier weight, white thread–Superior’s Magnifico.
I stitched flowers into all of the circles.Next, I used Pixelles–from Signature–in a variegated purple to fill in between the flowers!
This was finished in a flash–because the ideas were all worked out in the DOODLING PHASE!!
