Nine Patch Doodling

I have been doodling again . . .

Too much time on the phone . . . .

I started focusing on nine patch blocks. I am drawn to the nine patch.

Must be that order thing again.

I wanted to see how many different variations on the nine patch

I could come up with just doodling away.

I thought I would dive into a bag of silk scraps for this experiment.
I didn't have any fusible web . . .

Needless to say, my cutting & ironing board are covered with the fraying threads of silk.


I tried a couple of different nine patches.

Then I decided to crank it up a notch.

What if I made a "traditional" nine patch, and then trimmed it up on an angle.




This I LOVE! I need to try these in fabrics that don't fray when you
breathe on them!

These are the four blocks I have so far.

on another note . . . . .

The kid passed her Art Therapy exam!!!

She is now a licensed Art Therapist.

She has quite the little alphabet after her name now.

I am quite the proud mama.

I doodle alot. Mostly when I am on the phone.

I don't really like talking on the phone . . . but I do alot of it at work.

So to distract myself, I doodle.

Sometimes my doodling inspires me to move those doodles to the sewing room

I usually have to dump my scrap bin on the floor so I can see everything.

It is a bit like a treasure hunt.




So I started constructing my doodles. It was very fun.



This is the finished block. I think I got that out of my system.

It's okay, but not really turning me on.

Maybe if I did it in black and white fabrics. Now that's a thought . . . .















on another note . . . .

The kid and I put up the tree this weekend.

It is such a blessing to have a six foot daughter!!

She dragged that tree off the top of the car and hoisted it into the stand
like it was nothing . . .


She even put the angel she made when she was three
on top without a step stool.

Oh to be tall . . . .
