Sanibelle Quilted

Sanibelle Quilted!

Sanibelle - drawn with Pigma Pen and pencil

The Diva Challenge this week is to create a tangle submitted by one of the blog’s followers. The tangle selected is “Sanibelle” and was designed by Tricia Faraonce. This design is a natural to adapt to quilting. 
This is the Diva challenge tangle I made this on a Zentangle® 3 ½” tile.




This is how I draw it:
I use teardrop shapes instead of the scallop followed by straight lines. I feel that I’m able to create a smoother line this way. Also it is easily adapted to a continuous line for quilting if you retrace some of your lines along the way. This is shown on the bottom left of my sketchbook page.



And again here is the tangle quilted out. I used Signature and Bottom Line threads on a Sew Batik fabric.

  2. Oh my goodness! These are just lovely! I like how you added an extra line in each "scallop" for extra dimension. The tile is beautiful and I love the quilted square.

  5. WOW! That is gorgeous Elaine. I love the lines. I'm a quilter too and new to Zentangles and I could see the possibilities with quilt. I did my first tangle ever last week and really surprised myself.

  7. I always thought this one would quilt up well done the way you do it. I have doodled it that way as well. I get slightly different final shapes when I draw it different ways, but the continuous line version is perfect for quilting. Love the fabric and the thread also!
