Am I the Last to Know?

I have been enlightened to the awesome funkiness of fabric selveges. Am I the last quilter on the planet to have seen the book Quilts from the Selvage Edge by Karen Griska?



After reading her blog and checking out the projects therein, I ran to my sewing room garbage can, only to remember that moment of neatness I had this weekend when I emptied it. Grrr. It's out at the curb waiting for tomorrow's pickup, but I'm already in my pj's for the night...

The only thing left to do was to begin harvesting selvages from my stash. These are just the ones that were easy to grab and cut. I can't believe I've been throwing them away all this time!


I'm going to use this tutorial to make a zippered bag.

I'm sew easily distracted. Too bad that blog name is already taken...
