A blog I really enjoy reading is Ro Bruhn's "My Life in Color."  She often gets together with friends to paint fabric.  Well I thought it looked like lots of fun, so I decided to get together with my Journal Quilt students at The City Quilter and have a big collaborative painting party!  We spread trash bags across the classroom tables and then added big canvas panels.  It was a painty good time:

At the end of class we cut the panels up and everyone got some canvas to take home and create with!  Isn't that fun?  I can't wait to make some more collaborative cloth!

Thanks for stopping by!

  • Great idea and looks like a very fun project, especially with a group of friends! I like that everyone got to take a piece of the canvas home.
