...to show you what awesome texture
this flame design creates on this Fireman's T-Shirt quilt. I found
this flame on Patsy Thompson's website; she offers free downloads of
her sketches. This flame quilts up easy and fast.
Design sketches – I've got a bunch of
them! Three binders full of them. I save very one I've sketched for
the last nine years. Not that they are all purely out of my own head.
Nope. Some I may have drawn while standing at a quilt show, staring
at an incredible quilting design that I just have to get down on
paper. My purse is full of sketches on notepads that I carry home and
draw out on full size paper to file away for later. Some I've
sketched out while staring at my computer monitor, browsing through photos of other quilters' work.
Is this stealing? I don't think so. If
and when I choose to stitch out one of these drawings, it will still
be in my “hand.” I didn't print out someone's commercial pattern.
It will still be my interpretation of their design.
