I had done a little rust dyeing about 2 years ago with some friends, and wanted to do more this summer, so I borrowed a big box of rusty things from my friend Donna, since I don't have the stuff laying around the house. I have done several batches on cotton dyer's cloth, and a few silk scarves (forgot to take pictures of those). I need to get back to making quilts, instead of just making the fabric, so I thought this would make an exciting quilt or two!
Here are some of my favorite pieces of fabric. Now, I will let them sit and "talk" to me for awhile, and see what I can come up with for a quilt design.

Love these 'rusty' fabrics ...look forward to seeing what you are going to do with them.......
Gorgeous fabric. So much better than what I've done with steel wool. I recently acquired a bucket of rusty tools from the early 1900's and want to give those a try.
mmmm you made some great looking rusty fabrics! I love all your art pieces too.
Beautiful fabric!
Love these! I have done some and want to do more myself. I use PFD fabric and it holds up quite well. Then I have even been known to add dye to the rusted fabric and I love the results.
