Rusty Eight - a giveaway

I've been cleaning.  Shoveling.  Removing.  Sorting.  Chucking. 

Yeah, I know - who knew?

So, in the interest of getting rid of excess creative fodder,
how about a giveaway?

Up for grabs is a package of eight nice sized pieces
of rusted fabric (one larger piece has also been
dipped in hand made walnut ink).



If you would like to play with these,
just leave a comment on this post and I
will do the draw on Friday.

(of course this all depends on whether or not there's a single
soul out there who is remotely interested!!)

Today the quote is from Phyllis Diller.... "There is such a build-up of crud in my oven there is only room to bake a single cupcake"   (hmmm - oven?  studio??)

  1. I would welcome these fabrics in my home and they would make their way perfectly into a quilt that I have set aside awaiting for the "perfect" fabric!!! This would be awesome if I were the lucky chosen one!!! Thanks for your generosity 😉

  2. (Warning, warning... sensory overload)
    What a beautiful set of rustic fabrics. I love this mottled and dyed look, and they would be a great addition to the quilt I have planned for hand stitching when we are living in the caravan for a while. Very tactile.

    Good morning from England! Phyllis Diller's quote is so true of my studio/workroom! I am planning a crazy quilted rustic landscape 'picture', so these colours would be great. Thank you for offering them, a lovely gesture.
    I appreciate that you wouldn't want to post to the UK, but thank you all the same !
