If She Leaves Me
Zentangle® drawing is a great exercise for quilters. It develops facility with infilling spaces, which makes the quilting easier and more successful. Machine quilting is especially good for the sheer multiplicity of patterns that come from drawing with a pen on paper. In this quilt, the leaf is an original drawing, re-sized and rotated with Photoshop, then printed on cotton and over-dyed. The blocks are irregular to add motion to the leaves, which are rarely stationary in nature. 18″ x 30,” it hangs either horizontally or vertically.
Let’s stop talking about zentangle drawing as therapy, and recognize that it is to quilting as playing scales is to music.
