Selvage Tote Among Friends!

Susan McConnell made this beautiful selvage tote bag. It's 18" wide x 12" tall and has lots of pockets on the inside. Perfect for a quilt show, she says. She'd better hold on tight! I love the basketweave effect and the sprinkling of black selvages; very sharp. I also like that little selvage tie looped around the button. Nice job Susan!

She and Anya are good friends. They live in Wellsboro, PA. (You've seen Anya's selvage creations here before.) You will enjoy these bantering posts on Susan's blog:

  2. This looks to be a treat tote. And I like the dark interior's contrast to the selvages.
