Doodle Doodle Doodle
Can I say anything more? I have been LA Quilting for 7 yrs.
I started with Pantos... and doodling... practicing with the LA... hold the pencil straight up and down, not slanted.
This has helped me. I have asked to have my way with customer's quilt, someone who I knew who would listen to my ideas. They have been some of my best quilts.
Most importantly, have a design board... my design board, as I lay in bed (door open) I can look straight out at the quilt.
It is a good distance away. So at night in the dark it shows a different view of the quilt than in the daylight.
don't give up! Enjoy the Art!
