Doing the Doodle

Recently I gave a presentation to Picking Up the Pieces in Cordova, Tennessee. I created an outline, copied it so that everyone could have a one and do a doodle. These are the one's I have gotten back so far.

Ellie's Doodle

Nanette's Doodle

Christopher's Doodle

Bethany's Doodle

 Here is the original outline. Can you see the 'Q' for quilting?

I added repetitive lines to create pattern

Preliminary Patterns

and then filled in some of the resulting shapes with more lines or filled them in with solid black.

If you would like to do a doodle please click 'Q' Outline and print out your copy. (I think you have to right click and download then print. Not sure - let me know!) Then e-mail me and I will add it. Enjoy!

Doodle Quilting

I recently finished a new presentation "Pattern and Doodle" all about the exploration of pattern and creating pattern through 'Doodling'. Like the ZenTangle craze, doodling is all about simple lines and shapes repeated over and over to create a pattern. I doodle with my sewing machine on fabric as well as with ink on paper.
Here is a video talking about how...
