"Coloring Outside the Blocks: Artists Do Lunch" before & afters

Our second group quilt collaboration involved taking a tablecloth and doodling on it with markers and paint, switching positions so the styles became a bit blended, then dividing the cloth and giving each artist a piece to take home and push forward with additional painting and quilting.
Here is the piece I worked on beyond the initial session:
unfinished


additional painting and quilting





I'll post an image of the finished piece soon.  It is very exciting!

  4. Leslie, what a great idea, and what a fabulous piece you are ending up with. Makes me itch to get to the paints and sewing machine!

  5. The portion shown above was finished by me. There is a combination of acrylic paint, (mostly textile) and alcohol ink used on this section. The red flower was created with alcohol ink, then heat set prior to stitching.
