I have been making some progress
on the rust dyed quilts...
This is the 5th quilt top in the series...
These images are super rusty!
In the upper right corner of the quilt top
you can see rusted horse shoes:
The horse shoes were worn by
the Cowboy's Cow Pony, Dancer...
rusted horse shoes on fabric...
All 5 quilt tops now have borders:
Quilt.....5
Quilt....1
Quilt.....2
Quilt....3
Quilt....4
I have some applique' work to do,
then they will be spray basted
and ready for machine quilting.
This was our sunrise this morning
just out the back door.
I have a January deadline on the rusted quilts.
Nothing gets things done like a deadline!

Wow!! Does the rust change the feel of the fabric at all? One of these days, can you show us how you do it? Looks awesome!! We have horse shoes at the farm, but my horse has always gone barefoot.
ReplyDeleteI have a rust dyeing tutorial on my blog from 2014. You can find it here: https://luannkessi.blogspot.com/2014/09/rust-dyeing.html
DeleteThe rusted fabric remains soft for the most part and resembles the stiffer feel of batiks because it has been washed and dried.
