Yes I do, but not for me. A lady in church has a granddaughter who plans to make some things. I save any size, width, and brand name.

I sent all mine to my sister in Oregon a year ago. Now I'm saving them because I want to use them as book titles on a bookshelf quilt. I've also made fabric out of them - sewn them all together. I seen crafts, such as little bags made out of them and it suits my nature to 'use it all'. I've also seen articles of clothing made from them. I don't save tiny plain white ones and how much I cut off depends on how much of the fabric I need. If I can I leave at least a 1/4 " of the pattern on it.

Oh oh--I just got caught red handed!! :shock: :D I started saving them a while ago--why? who knows! I did make a cute little pin cushion chicken that I gave away in a 4-H fundraiser.
http://www.quiltingboard.com/tutoria...n-t143250.html Aren't these cute? Really think I would make more of these as gifts for sewing buddies. [ATTACH=CONFIG]410331[/ATTACH] I have made about a 10" block from some-what shall I do with it? I cut an inch away from the selvage edge and this usually gives me enough fabric to play with without taking too much from the piece. So what are you thinking QE? |
ooooooohhh!!! something NEW to save :D :D :D I will save them if you want QuiltE
SewGlad! those are too cute!!! HEY arent I your buddy??? heehee :D |
A few years ago at a quilt show, all the ladies of the guild were wearing aprons that they had made.
My personal favorite was the lady wearing the "Selvage Apron" Bright, colourful and beautiful! :) |

Oh no!
Don't start saving them for me!!! As I said at the start, I have not been a SS ... though there's been a few times lately where I wantedmore fabric and did not have the selvage info, to make life easier for that ISO. The only reason I might keep the selvages is for that historical reference. While OKSGlad's Chickies are cuties ... I don't see me making them. So, so far, no one has convinced me that I really want to collect ... other than save it as a reference. You can send OKSGlad your selvages ..................... and for the free advertising she has garnered, I'm going to be like DDamsel, and with high hopes, remind her that I am a QBuddy too! :) Darn it all, they won't mail easily! :( |
They are darlin' now aren't they? DD we ought ta sneak over there & steal a few o' those. :)
