Doohikey Designs® is the work of artist Shari Butler. Since childhood she has always been involved with the arts and crafts. Whether she is tickling the ivory keyboard, singing a song, or doodling on a piece of paper, She always has something brewing in her creative mind and spirit.
Shari’s beautiful work is populated with vintage like characters and whimsical designs that are inspired from her childhood. With the opportunities of freelancing with some national companies, she was inspired to follow her own dream and to search for her own creative niche.
Shari fell in love with quilting, sewing, and the idea of fabric. She loves and is inspired by the idea that someday when someone makes a quilt with her designs it will be passed down from generation to generation.
Her style is vintage with a modern twist in her surface designs. She is always exploring the arts, and how to increase her skill set through all different types of media. As a surface designer, she is always in the creative mode. You never know what she will be designing next.
When she discovered the community of quilting, she found her passion and dream job in designing fabric. Currently she is pursuing creating notions, embroidery patterns, and more under her brand name, Doohikey Designs®.
Shari is the creator of Binding Babies®, a new craft and quilt notion.
Shari has become a business nerd, and has taken after her father's entrepreneurial spirit. She is excited to serve you better by bringing, and creating products that you will love.
