I stopped. However, just yesterday, I started looking up basic instructions on how to sew with selvages. Why? Did you post a selvage project on a previous blog post? I have a feeling you did. I'm wanting to sew a selvage pillow for my fiance's sofa. Seems like that would be a very quick project. Thanks for the inspiration! artsycraftsyivyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10884274247410617128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527612360558538909.post-21719803850204007042019-05-20T19:29:28.446-07:002019-05-20T19:29:28.446-07:00I love your selvedge pincushions, especially how y...I love your selvedge pincushions, especially how you 'individualise' them for your friends. I love playing with selvedges, they have been my obsession for more than 5 years now. I have become very disillusioned with sewing quilt tops lately and have given most of my fabric collection away but will be keeping my selvedge stash, just reading some of them makes me smile.

In your case, you seem to know how to sew just the right thing! What charming and thought-filled gifts. You may have been low on energy then, but your mind was certainly busy putting these together. Mine sits on the shelf next to where my sewing kit sits in between sewing sessions. Because I don't have a separate sewing room, I get to see it and think of you every day, not just on sewing days. Can't wait to see more of your quilt.

I LOVE selvages and have made a bunch of things with my massive collection. A lot of friends save them for me LOL. But, your pin cushions sure are the absolute cutest with their personalized selvages! Great job.

I save the occasion selvage for you, but most go into the bin. Perhaps some day I'll be inspired to use a few, but until then, I'll admire your work.French 75https://www.blogger.com/profile/05308677247609841948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527612360558538909.post-81896673970727456452019-05-20T09:44:26.511-07:002019-05-20T09:44:26.511-07:00These are just wonderful!

I just couldn't bring it all with me. I love how many different selvedges you have. I never knew you used to have an etsy shop. I am looking forward to seeing your quilt grow.Charlotte M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09017648602174503289noreply@blogger.com
