Sunday sketch #487
I don’t usually do holiday-themed designs, but I couldn’t help it this week. The basic flower unit in last week’s sketch reminded me of a pumpkin, and with Halloween coming up… it felt like good timing to play around with the idea a little more.

When waiting for a train at Flinders Street Station in Melbourne recently, I noticed that the scalloped edges on the roof cast a nice shadow on the platform. What better inspiration for a quilt design?
Sunday sketch #381
One of the things I’ve always loved about my Sunday sketches are the outlines – the thin black lines around the shapes. When I used to hand-draw all my sketches, they were all lines; now that I create most of my designs in EQ8, I don’t always show them. But sometimes I purposely make the black lines a feature (see Sunday sketches #265, #269, #277 and #348, for example), even though I’ve never really made a quilt with skinny strips (apart from Sketch).
