Check Out This Blog

I am absolutely hooked on The Selvage Blog. I don't know how I came across this blog but I love looking at it and imagining some new projects like this,
or this.
There are a lot of great pictures on this blog so check it out. Has anyone out there ever made something with selvage? I love seeing selvages now because they are so colorful. The older fabrics don't seem to have such pretty selvages. Now if only I had started saving them sooner. Just a new excuse to buy new fabrics (like I needed an excuse)!

    I love that blog too. I was inspired to make a bag - there's a picture of it in my blog not too far back. I had SO much fun making it and am busy saving more selvedges for something else.

    Thanks so much for featuring my selvedge tree skirt and ornaments on your blog! I have been saving selvedges from my quilting projects for over 15 years and there is no limit to what we can create with them. And just how do you keep the cat hair off your quilts? My 2 cats thinks everything quilty belongs to them!

    I was always reluctant to throw them away. Now I see why...

    I love the little christmas trees, I'm off to check out the selvage blog. I notice they have a link to this girls blog on their side bar. http://vintagericrac.blogspot.com/
    She does some amazing things with selvages too. I wish I had started saving them earlier too.

I pray that risen from the dead,
In glory I will stand,
A crown perhaps upon my head,
And a needle in my hand.
