Zentangle Fabric Arts – Quilting – Embroidery
Oh, you quilters and fabric artists (and interested bystanders) are gonna love this one!
“If you enjoy working with fabric, quilts and embroidery, you will be inspired with Zentangle. Begin by drawing simple tangles on fabric, then continue with the collection of examples and techniques on how to translate tangles into machine stitches, free-motion quilting, transfers, color, patchwork and embroidery.” Suzanne writes, “In this book a talented team of fabric lovers share some wonderful projects as well as tips to get you started creating with fabric and tangles.”
The book includes 38 patterns for drawing (13 new ones by my count) and 30 patterns for free-motion quilting. In addition to the patterns, there are about 20 projects to inspire you. The projects are all Zentangle eye candy! Both materials required and complete instructions are given.

I’ve seen Tangled tennies on several sites and would love to try them. I’m looking for an inexpensive pair to try it on, as I’m not sure whether the Micron ink will spread on the canvas shoes. I’d rather try it on a cheap pair first!
I’m a quilter and one of the things that drew me to Tangling is that it will also work well with free-motion quilting or even quilts themselves. I am considering scanning the pictures into my computer, printing them on fabric, then making a “Tangle Sampler” quilt.
Cindi,
I got a great pair of (leather) Keds at a local discount shoe warehouse (DSW) for $24. and used a double-ended Sharpie marker. They worked out great and I get lots of comments. Utrecht Art sells blank canvas Keds for quite a bit more, but it’s another option. My next project is to use a White Sharpie paint marker for my black shoes (Old).
Have fun.
I used white canvas Converse sneakers that were on sale at Target, Kohl’s, and Fred Meyer (in Washington) and they all turned out great. I used the micron for drawing and then fabric dye pens for coloring. They are fun to do and fun to show off!
