Doodles

Usually I need to be in just the right frame of mind and space to face a new Bee Sewcial prompt, and as chance would have it, I found myself there just hours after Leanne/shecanquilt announced her "Doodle" theme. 



She requested bright, saturated colors, and I opted to pull from the scrap basket just to add to the fun. We could use minimal color or more, and I enjoyed using the more this time around. We were also asked to 'frame' our doodles, which was an interesting twist. I had fun with the first one, mitering the corners.


Though I'm not much of a doodler in general, the flat zigzag and wonky spiral are both patterns that I've found myself creating on meeting notes more than once. So it was kind of fun to doodle them in fabric.


This was an entertaining prompt! And I unexpectedly had alot of fun with the framing, though Leanne suggested that, "The goal is for the doodle to be the star of the show." Hopefully I achieved that objective.

  1. I definitely think that your doodles are the stars and the frames support them. Looks like the prompt was just the ticket for you this month!

  5. These doodles are great Debbie and I love the frames. I'm definitely inspired this month! Can I just ask, that pale blue piece next to the central triangle in the swirl is short with an added extra dark blue section, was that intentional? It makes it look like you've gone the extra mile. Kudos if you have, happy accident if not.

  6. This looks were interesting and doodling with fabrics is a perfect task to come up with new ideas. I like your blocks. Now I am looking forward to seeing the blocks of the other bees as well.

  7. You most certainly made the doodle the star of the show! I am so in love with the first one! Is it the colors, the frame or the design? All of the above! What a super fun prompt!
