Do you like to doodle? Many of us enjoy sketching or even scribbling absentmindedly, dreaming we’re budding artists! The same action can be translated to needle and thread, randomly stitching on small pieces of fabric while learning creative techniques.

Watch the Doodle Stitching TV show (Part One, Part Two, and Part Threeonline now. You’ll also find details, tips, and techniques in the Doodle Stitching bookavailable at Nancy’s Notions.

Clip ‘n Stitch Doodling

Let’s kick off Doodle Stitching Part Three with a Clip ‘n Stitch Doodle project. Small snippets of fabric fused to a background layer are the doodling tools. This is not a lengthy process, rather a random act of creativity!

Popsicle Garden

One of the benefits of doodle stitching is becoming comfortable with free-motion quilting. Creating a Popsicle Garden is an ideal way to learn the tricks of the trade while stitching a whimsical work of art. Circles and rectangular shapes are all that’s needed, along with a little stitching time. Watch online to see how easy it is to try free-motion quilting on this smaller scale.

Doodle Outside the Lines

Next on Doodle Stitching Part Three, a scarf was the fabric chosen for the last of the creative projects. Nancy liked the look of doubling the sheer layers to create even more subtle shades of color. Each section was roughly stitched with sketchy stitches. We liken the stitching to coloring in a book. You can’t make a mistake when you purposely Doodle Outside the Lines.

    I would love to win this Doodle stitching book. I would really put it to use.

    I would really enjoy this book. I’m new to quilting – I’m more home decor and/or garment sewer. I really enjoy the free motion technique but find myself stressing over the ‘doing it’ part. I think this doodling would be a fantastic way to beat the stress. Thanks!

    Since I am not a “doodler”, I need this book to help me break out of my shell and experiment. Thanks.

    I have done a little bit of doodling but haven’t seen some of those techniques shown. I would love to learn more about doodling!

    I would love to learn to doodle! It would add so much interest to otherwise plain fabrics!

    My hands are a little jerky. Can I still do the doodling? Would love to learn. When I try to machine quilt I get points and angles in stead of round quilting. Sometimes it looks okay because it is all alike. But not always.

    I love to doodle, so this would be fun to try. I love the Queen Anne’s Lace flowers and bird’s nest. Thanks for all your great ideas and guidance!

    I’d love a copy of the book! I have a free-motion head for my old Elna, but haven’t played much with doodling. As a fiber artist who (occasionally) makes money at this, I enjoy blending artplay and work.

    This book would be very helpful to me. Have tried machine quilting, but somewhat intimadated by the process. My desire to do this is strong, so thinking the book would get me inspired.
