Default New Selvedge Projects

I haven't posted in a long while but have been super busy sewing over the winter months. Now that it's spring and the sun is shining brightly through my dining room window, the sewing machine definitely cranked up a gear LOL.

I am still (and will for a long time) loving working with selvedges (selvages) and the first pic is my latest quilt in progress. I have 5 rows done and will choose a sashing and join it all together this week.

The second photo is my latest in my 'children playing series' of selvedge wallhangings. This is now fused ready to be quilted.

In between, I am madly working on making and decorating 160 aprons for an International Women's Day event in March next year. I have about 70 done so far.

Thanks for looking.

Lynn you just amaze me..I really like the snowballs in the first picture.

LOL at selvages...quilt friends give me odds and ends of fabrics. One in particular gave me some selvages. I have used some, but this summer I made a "quilter's basket" full of goodies to be in a silent auction for a 4-H fundraiser. I put in a bunch of selvages and a pattern to use them. Wouldn't you know this friend purchased the basket...then this fall she's smiling (or smirking) as she hands me back the selvages...I've already made her a selvage chicken...need to make something else just for her out of those selvages don't you think?


Still love the feel of that wool doll quilt you swapped with me...

Very creative. I'm saving my selvages. For want I don't know.
