So what happens when I get a nice assortment of selvages from one of my all-time favorite designers,
Laurie Wisbrun?
I organize them.
Then I
super organize them in the order they were available for purchase. OCD?
Then I try a new trick I learned from
Cristy--glue basting.
Then I turn them into a cute zipper pouch. Side 1:
Side 2:
Robert Kaufman really stepped up and started turning the color registration dots into an art form of their own!
And add a label on the inside:
And then make a
lined drawstring bag from one of Laurie's latest lines. Side 1:
Side 2:
And then sigh from pure pleasure of having worked on such fun projects.
Getting to link a
completed project at
Crazy Mom Quilts? Fun!
Love, love. Selvage jealously here. :-)
