Marker Mania: Creative Fabric Scribbling & Surface Design by Pat Daniels

Marker Mania is a joyful, no‑stress dive into playful surface design. Using nothing more than fabric markers, simple tools, and your own imagination, you’ll learn how to transform plain fabric into vibrant, expressive art panels that can be used in quilts, bags, wall pieces, and more.

This 3‑part book guides you through two complete projects:

The two patterns in this book

Sunrise- Sunset
A bold, colorful design created through Pat’s signature fabric scribbling technique. You’ll learn how to layer color, build movement, blend tones, and create depth using just 4–7 markers. Clear step‑by‑step photos show exactly how to draw, shade, and stitch your panel into a finished piece. Finished size: 20″ x 20″
Duet for Celestial Bodies
A dramatic two‑color design created with bleach‑pen discharge. Pat shows you how to safely remove color from fabric to reveal glowing shapes, crisp lines, and celestial textures. You’ll learn how to control the bleach, create contrast, and finish the piece with clean, simple quilting. Finished size: 23″ x 26″

Along the way, you’ll discover:

  • how to choose the right markers and fabrics
  • how to stabilize your work for smooth drawing
  • blending, shading, and layering techniques
  • how to quilt your panels without distorting the artwork
  • finishing methods that keep your pieces flat and crisp

Marker Mania is approachable, creative, and fun — perfect for beginners, workshop students, and anyone who wants to explore color and mark‑making on fabric without complicated tools or rules.
