Yesterday I checked up on my rust dyeing project. I discovered that the fabrics that are in the shadows have been rustier than the fabrics in the sun – I had to pour some water on. I leave them for some more weeks.

Reading my new books
Yesterday I received two books. I started reading “The quilting arts book”. This is fun. A lot of ideas turn up in my mind; I had to find paper and start to write down my thoughts. It is a beautiful book. It has a lot of pictures and several techniques. I write more about this book later.

Rust dyeing
I am testing how to dye fabric with rust. I have a clever husband who is working with metals and he suggested some rusty items. I soaked fabric in water and vinegar, and wrapped it round the rusty iron items. Now I leave them outside waiting for the fabric to rust!

Unfinished projects
This is fabric strips fused on muslin. I have couched with yarn. Then I have added painted gas and all sorts of tread and stuff I am not sure what to do with it
Here some cool wool embellishment. There was a tutorial in Quilting Art Magazine
