Now.... the painting day! On the 8th Jan. our little art group had our first get together for the year at Patsy's home. We were going to paint BIG, and paint big we did. Not one cloth, but two...we were prolific.
This is the second cloth, cut into 5, so we could all make our own personal cloth to take home. This picture was taken from Julia's end of the table. We began by all painting a base cloth and then each person personalised their own piece.
This is the lovely Patsy getting all the paints prepared for our freestyle painting experience.
This is the first cloth we worked on. After a little trepidation we all really just let ourselves go (as you can see!!!). Such a wonderful feeling painting with such freedom...quite cathartic. It was the hottest day we have had for the summer I think. We were all hot and sweaty, but no-one cared, we were in the zone.
As you can see much more paint added here to the finished piece. Dot and Patsy helping in transporting to Patsy's studio to dry our banner. Circles seemed to be the theme...nothing preconceived...they just appeared and we went with them.
Of course none of our get togethers are without a little feast. Dot, Julia, Ro and Patsy (L to R) ready to eat. The food was most scrumptious and plenty of it. I did a little collage of our feast but have lost it in cyberspace somewhere.
And as usual there has been some stitching happening...more to my angel cloth (hope you're not getting too bored with it). I promise it will be finished soon and I will move onto something else! Click on the photos for a closer view if you like.
I hope you all have a wonderful week...lots of stitching and painting.

oh, what fun! Wish I could come and play, too!
Congratulations on your new foal!
Oh the new baby, what a joy, I love love horses, and so lovely to have them at home, has the new addition got a name yet?
The fabric painting looks incredible, what a wonderful way to pass a day and the results are beautiful. Still loving your Angel cloth, it is coming along so nicely. I took your advice and joined Jude's CWB workshop, very excited, already started weaving my first block!
That painting is wonderful--it must be so hard to cut it up! I know all the little pieces will be great too, but oh, to have a whole banner like that--YUM! I think I need to talk to a few friends about doing one of these too! (and I'm still loving the angel cloth!)
WOW -- that painting is super cool fabulous! I wished that you lived near me! (or I near you)
Your cloth that you are working on is great too, Jacky! You are so talented!
Your painting looks fantastic - what a clever gang you are! All that fun...good food...and sunshine too (us Brits are trying not to be too jealous :-)
Congrats to the proud mum; thats a beautiful baby....
thanks jacky for coming to my blog... and for sending good energy our way! your baby is precious! and that cloth... i wonder, is it cloth you will sew with? or is it canvas that will become a mat? beautiful what ever it may be! i'm in cwb too but haven't posted... i will soon...hopefully tomorrow.
Such fun! I can see why you enjoyed your day. Love seeing the whole length of the cloth (though the thought of cutting it up makes me groan)and your angel cloth is lovely.
Wow, what a great idea and so much fun, I wish I could have joined you girls.
Looks like loads of fun! Do you do this often?
The little foal is so sweet.
your little baby
looks so fragile..
you must be so proud.
Lovely blog, lovely painting. Looks like such fun! Came over here from Jude's cwb class.
What a wonderful cloth! Wouldn't you love to stitch all over it?
I really like the idea of an annual event .... I wonder if I can come up with one to do here.
Ahhhh, Jacky....I adore your spirit cloth! I am friends with the lucky recipient of it. Such a lucky girl, she is!
You are sooo talented. You Aussies sure are a crafty lot!
I love the foal. Is it yours? Have you ever been to Kentucky, USA? We are surrounded by some of the world's most beautiful horses. You would love it.
très beau travail!
Jacky,
What a wonderful art project! I love your angel cloth. I am really inspired by it. So much soul stitching is done on the trees and on the entire cloth!
Jacky...I love the painted cloth! I'm wondering..what kind of paint did you use on the fabric? The colors are so bright and vibrant!
