I chose a design from one of my design sketch books. Then I
doodled all over it with my sewing
machine. I happily experimented with all
kinds of stitches, but seem to have a problem just “letting go” and not doing
something symmetrical.
I did start this one right away when the word was chosen,
and doodled away on it periodically. I made it from some silk fabrics I had that already had the Misty Fuse backing. I used all kinds of stitches the fit all the weird angles.
Randy can switch this any way he wants to fit the composite - it's a doodle :)
Apologies to all! I guess when I "thought" I put my doodle in draft, I published it instead! So it went up last night!!!! YIPES!
ReplyDeleteLove the asymmetrical design and your doodles make me want to have a machine that was made in the 21st century!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun you had with your stitches! Everyone needs to "click to enlarge" to see this stitching. Yes, definitely Carol used a modern machine to make this one!
ReplyDeleteFun piece!! Love the machine doodled stitches.
ReplyDeleteNo problem posting early Carol. I, too, have made that error. Love your sketch and all the fancy machine stitches and doodles! FUN!
ReplyDeleteFancy and fun! Great stitching! Love it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stitching
ReplyDeleteFrom Rita: – I am always so impressed by someone that actually has a sketchbook. That must be a wonderful resource. Your “periodic” doodling works beautifully with your design.
ReplyDeleteHI Carol ! I think you did a GREAT job on your Doodle quilt ! You know, in Zentangle and Zendoodle art we're strongly encouraged to use a sketchbook every day to practice our strokes, get a 'rhythm' going, and invite our creative muses to keep us inspired. And you use a sketchbook ! ! !
ReplyDeleteLoved how you used your machine to do your doodle designs, and that you were able to incorporate already-ready fused silk fabric in your way cool quilt !

I envy your ability to produce symmetry - I admire symmetrical designs but there will probably never be one that comes out of me. I appreciate how your design incorporates symmetry and non-symmetry. This looks like it was a lot of fun to work on.
ReplyDeletegreat idea to use the decorative stitches on the machine! Nice execution
