Bought the book, saving my selvages, just need some time to get started on something.
Thanks for an awesome giveaway, it's a beautiful pillow!!
I want to win your selvage pillow! I can't believe there aren't more signed up. I have things made with selvages but I think this beats them all!
It is hard to believe that anything so pretty is made with selvages! It is so beautiful! Love it! Hope I win! Kathy
Count me in! I haven't made a selvage pillow yet!
Oh, this is lovely!
Beautiful pillow! Please put my name in the drawing as well.
Beautiful pillow. I don't remember how I found your blog, but now I have visions of something made from selvages in my future. I like to see the items you post to compare what the look of using less and/or more fabric with the selvage. This pillow is a great example of using more fabric. Thanks!
Love that pillow for my quest room/sewing room! Thanks for the tutorial link too!
Great pillow! Thanks for the chance to win!
That's gorgeous! I'd love to win it. :D Thanks for the drawing!
Karen - I love the Moda pillow and would love to win it. Thank you for the tutorial too. Now I just need to collect more selvages. Claudia W
Oh, me please! I've been bitten by the selvage bug.
Ooooh - I love a good giveaway!
Oh, how lovely that would look on my chair. I may never get up again. Thank you for the beautiful give away. (PS: I'm doing a board book give away on my site now, so if anyone needs a new Easter book for a child or grandchild, feel free to come enter).
I love this pillow. It's beautiful. Thanks for the giveaway.
I want to win - please put my name in.
I have been collecting selvages for a time now but have yet to do anything with them...I do have a plan for my first project~ just need a few extra hours in my day ~ or a few extra days in my week...or need to retire!
The pillow is darling, I added it to my 'someday' list of projects to do.

I completely love this pillow!! This weekend I even started cutting my selvages from my stash!! I'd love to win it.
Wow, I just love that pillow!
Thank you for the giveaway, and for all the inspiration you are giving us.
Thanks for offering this unique pillow! I'd love to win it.
I would love that pillow. I have started to save selvages to make things for my sewing studio!!! (Which I will be painting and decorating this Spring!!!!)

LOVE the pillow! Thanks for entering me in the drawing!!!
How generous of you!
Just finding Karen's blog in the last few weeks has me collecting selvages now. I look forward to making my first selvage project, the problem is having patience to collect enough selvages to make a bigger project like a pillow.
I'll start small - to use the selvages I've collected thus far.
I have started collecting selvages to do my first project....
Found a Moda scrap bag at a quilt show and bought it. I think you mentioned these in a previous post. I ended up with 16 edges with the printing info (out of 42 strips). The other strips are also selvages, but without the printing. I still am thinking that I will use them in the project
But, I also got 11 2" strips and 32 2.5" strips (33" long). Not bad for $10.
But, I sure could use the pillow for inspiration!

I'm IN!! Love the pillow..

Love the colors in that pillow so I hope I win!
Love the pillow. I am so inspired by your Blog. Keep up the good work.
Beautiful pillow, Karen. Perfect colors for my couch! I must have it! Thanks.

Hi Karen,
I love all the creative things you've done with selvage. I will post a picture on my blog of the one thing I've done with selvage. It involved kniting with it.
I'm wishing I had better luck! But here's to hoping! I love the pillow and would smile everyday when I saw it in my sewing room!
Yes, it certainly would look nice. I don't have a 'studio' but I do have a room to proudly display it. Thanks so much for your generous giveaway. I'll cross my fingers.
In my studio?? No way! It would go on my living room couch!! Perfect colors and so very interesting. Thanks for the chance.
Wonderful pillow! to imagine all the selvage discarded over the years...
Great pillow! That sure would look great in my studio. ;-)
Beautiful pillow. Love the fabrics. Please add me to your giveaway.

Salvages are all the rage lately! Seems I see things made with them nearly everyday! I saw a wallet that really caught my eye. The setting on the pillow is very appealing too.
love it
I can not believe all the selvages I've thrown away over the years thinking they were useless.. DOH! Your pillow is adorable.
I absolutely love your selvage-savy and love, love the pillow! What a fabulous idea and wonderful way to keep fabric out of our landfills. I'm going to show my students your blog so they can begin to imagine more than just recycle for the planet. Reduce and reuse can be chic and fun! Thanx for the inspiration!
I just love the pillow that you made! Would love to win it ^_^
What a beautiful pillow, and indeed it would look lovely in my studio/sewing room!
Cheers,
Dionne
Oh wow!! I just started reading these blogs last week and came across Selvage quilting and was in awe when I saw this pillow. It is beautiful! Would love to be lucky enough to win it!
I showed your pillow to the class I was teaching this morning and they all loved it, as do I.
Yes, it would look cute in my sewing room/area!! I'd love to win!!
What a lovely pillow - it would be great to win it ;-)
Yours, Martina
I love it! Since finding your blog, I have been saving all my selvages. I hope I win.

Me, me, me. I would love to win this pillow. I'm tagging the tutorial so I can make a 2nd one and have a matching set (once I win :)).
This is a beautiful pillow, good work, I saw the tutorial on the Moda page, and loved it. Good luck to the winner, I am sure there will be many of these pillows floating around everyones sewing room.
I do hope you might post it to New Zealand!
This would look perfect on my sofa.
It is beautiful.
I love your blog. You make the cutest stuff with selvages!
So very cute!
I have made nothing out of selvages, and I own nothing out of selvages. But I have read so much about them and enjoy your blog full of ideas! Pls enter me for the pillow. Thanks!
How pretty, I'd love to go in the draw.
Your blog is so fun and interesting. I'm learning so much about selvages!
I have been waiting for you to put this pillow up for the drawing. I am so inspired by your selvage collection and the way you use them. It is a new idea for me to begin adding these selvages to my stash for CQ's. Please draw my name from those received so I can have this beautiful pillow in my home to admire for a long time to come. Come visit my blog ladyjspice@blogspot.com.
Karen, your Irish Blessing on St. Patrick's Day was a treasure, thank you!

What na fantastic pillow and what a wonderful way to recycle the bits we normally throw away!!!

So adorable! I love the idea of actually doing something cute with all the selvages I cut off of my fabric. Usually it just goes in my scrap bag, to become a pillow for the cat someday! lol But this is amazing...keep up the good work!
