Late Rust

After surviving a two-day moving sale, I am finally getting around to posting my offering for this challenge:


I have been doing a bit more experimenting with raw edge applique--no fusible, just fabric on fabric joined with thread, and, since those slightly frayed edges are the fabric equivalent of what happens with rust on metal,

I thought this might be appropriate for this challenge, although there is no rusted fabric in the piece nor even rust-colored fabric.

I started with a piece of snow-dyed fabric and then added bits of hand-dyes and lots of hand stitching, along with machine quilting on the background. It ended up being about 20 x 14".

  1. Madalene! This is the first I've ventured into our blog since November, I think! LOVE this piece. It has fantastic balance and rhythm. The mostly-low value contrast and the colors work beautifully. This is really a winner!
