Marigold the Orange Elephant.

I am happy to share the link and PDF patterns for the charming Little Elephant Quilt!

This delightful quilt design was initially created using AI technology and then redrawn into a quilt pattern for you to enjoy.

If you’re interested in learning more about the creative process behind this unique design, you can find the entire step-by-step process on my YouTube channel.

I hope you find these patterns inspiring and that they bring you many happy hours of crafting enjoyment!

    Hi, I love your work and don’t wish to be disrespectful or rude but I am quite disappointed to see that this was created by Ai. You are such a talented creator that I feel this makes me wonder if your wimsey work and alphabet were also created by Ai. I hope this conversation is private but as an older creator I can see how tempting Ai is but wonder why you would feel the need to use it?

    1. Pam Holland says:

      Lee, I appreciate your perspective on this. I find your comment both thought-provoking and also a bit disheartening. The piece in question is actually the only pattern I’ve created using AI, and while it was an experimental foray, it’s important to note that it was only partly generated by AI.

      At 77, I firmly believe in embracing all forms of art, and using AI doesn’t diminish my talent as an artist in other creative forms. It’s interesting to note that AI-generated drawings have only been on my radar for a year, whereas every other drawing, including the alphabet, before and after that, are entirely my own. There is definitely a skill involved in utilizing AI, and it’s a technology that isn’t going away. In fact, we’ve been unknowingly using it in various forms for years.

    At first, I was horrified at AI, but now I see how it can help me be more creative. I have used Co-pilot to help me clarify my vision about what I am intending to create. Rarely does the AI computer satisfy my artistic esthetic completely, but it helps when I’m stuck. Also, some projects don’t need your entire creative brain. Recently I was under the gun to create a birthday card. I needed one last thing – an image of a birthday cake. Enter AI with a suitable cake in about 60 seconds and I made my deadline. It was never going to make it to the Smithsonian, so what the H. When AI creators use artists’ personal style without permission to train the computer is where I draw the line. And I love, love, love marigold elephant and am trying to figure out when I can make it. Love your style, Pam Holland.

      Julia, I understand your feelings about AI, I illustrate on my iPad and I am comfortable using those designs. AI is new to me too, and I’ve explored it with some interesting results. I hope you have a chance to make Marigold one day.
