I was stopped in my tracks when I came across this firetruck. It was knee deep in snow and had been plowed in good. I was able to capture several shots. This particular shot spoke to me and was transformed to fabric. This uses an outline of the picture printed on fabric, I the rust dyed the doors and sides that I wanted to show as rust, I then hand painted with fabric paint in with a watercolor effect. Free motion embroidery edges areas of the truck and the quilt lines. I did not feel the need to background quilt as I felt the cloth speaks for itself. I appears old and warn like the truck and that suits this one perfectly.
