Sketch Book.....Leaf Designs 5



More Leaf Designs from my

Quilting Sketch Book...




Again, I chalk out the basic leaf shape

on the fabric...

Then fill in the leaf with designs.







If you can draw out the designs without

your pen leaving the paper...

then you can stitch them out onto your quilt.







Your pen is the needle...

your paper is the quilt.






Draw the designs out a few times on paper,

then go to the machine and stitch them out

onto your quilt.







This Doodle Leaf was inspired

by the design below...




Bubbles, Swirls and Curls Fill Design


More Leaf Designs to Come...




A trip to the Aurora Colony Museum:


Vintage Linens.....For Sale


































The museum is located in Aurora, Oregon













The museum hosts a quilt show

in October each year.













Always FUN to see the vintage quilts on display!

Sketch Book.....Leaf Designs 3



A few more Leaf Designs

from My Sketch Book...



While camping last summer,

I was inspired to draw leaves

and fill them in with all kinds of fill designs:



Once the basic leaf design is chalked

out onto your fabric,

You can stitch out any fill design you like

Our place is a black bird sanctuary in the winter...







The black birds make a great silhouette against

the winter sky...






These images will make great thermofax screens!
