I too had trouble finding rusted objects. I have a friend who is always on the lookout for items and she seems to literally pick up a lot of stuff off the sidewalks. Another friend also mentioned finding items at yard sales! Keep looking! Carol R.

Once you start looking they start to show up in your path😊 <br />The book will be available from my website as noted in your blog. I'm organizing it as quickly as I can. I have no idea how to help with following my blog.... I'll look into it when I get home from Quilt Canada. Thanks for your interest.
