R is for rust

I have made a study of old farm buildings and machinery.  This one inspired a quilt about four years ago.

A shed made from sheets of corrugated iron.


Our neighbour in our previous house had a smallholding next door and collected ancient tractors.  This is a detail from one of his wrecks.


Now we live in a coastal town with lots of rust on fishing boats and equipment.


I could go on.  I really love the colours and texture of rust and I know I am not the only textile artist who feels this way.

R and Rectangles

We just got in from a 3,000+ mile road trip.  There were some rectangles and R's along the way.

These are some of the roofs I have seen.

Roof with my favorite rectangles.


This one is a bit older.




Rusty Roof - Double R's


Renovation Success



Japan Roof Detail

Rectangles and Roofs!

These are some of the rectangles I have found in my galavanting.


See what happens when an artist gets hold of rectangles?


Roof and Rectangles again.


Red tomatoes--fresh.


Home Depot Baskets


Hershey's Special Dark

Jacksonville FL Skyline


Quilt blocks are made with rectangles.



Then, finally, there is the funniest "R" in the group.  The Recycled Rhicken.  )My cropping tool went on the fritz.)  I think he was made of recycled bumpers.

roses, in the rose garden at Mottisfont in Hampshire – and my granddaughter, who loved smelling them.

Letter - R

The prompt for the rest of June is the letter R. Interesting that it comes on the same month as rectangle.

I have some pretty cool rocks in a basket. My son used to bring them home alot. and then of course his mother has found quite a few more. They are in a wicker basket that I have to get my husband to move!



Please use R for the label when you post.

For another R - take a look at this rusty building in Leeds.
