Here is a little Steampunk bunny that I fell in love with at the Kalamazoo Show. I'm sorry I didn't note the quilter but I really appreciate her work. The whole piece was tiny,
maybe 8 x 8" or 10 x 10".
When I think of Steampunk, the Robert Downey Sherlock Holmes comes to mind. My other thought is Jack the Ripper's East End of London. I haven't watched Dr Who but I think that fits this category also.
Steam engines, victorian, industrial, sort of goth.
I want to use some cotton lace. Maybe dye it with coffee. There was also an article about throwing fabric in a jar of water with nuts and bolts so it would "rust". The instructions are in an issue of Quilting Arts Magazine around here somewhere.

This quilt is darling! Can't wait to see your Steampunk quilt too.
My two reference points for Steampunk are "Wild, Wild West" and Scott Westerfeld's Leviathan trilogy (how old is Jacob now? He might be reading those books soon!).
Well, Lisa,
I left a note on the other post, but it seems not to be there, so I'll just say that it is terrific that you are writing again and letting us know your latest adventure in Quiltworld. Steampunk?! Love it! To me, it looks like more fun than appliqued leaves, but then, that's just me. Carry on!
