One of the last pieces finished in 2017 was Nike's Advice I. I blogged about it HERE. I had a total blast stitching it and started basting down Nike's Advice II right away. There will be more! Free-motion stitching around all the little marks and paint dribbles is so much fun, and I have plenty of painted material. When initially painted in public, I had 130 feet!
During the two days of Artista Vista 2016, I painted with the public. Barry Wheeler and John Allen created a great video of the project. Then, I rolled it all up until I decide to quilt some of the sections. I'm really pleased how this second piece turned out.
Looking at this section, I am reminded that I used a couple carved wooden printing blocks from India. These made the blue designs. I also used a 4" rolling brayer to smear the yellow paint in interesting ways. I'm already at work on the next piece!

So different than your usual work, but I like it, I like it. And it looks like it was fun to do.
