Have you seen the new issue of Down Under Quilts from Australia? They're featuring selvages! Erica Spinks' authored the articles, and her beautiful selvage quilt is on the front cover. She used a solid beige fabric with her selvages, and she added hand quilting with black thread to echo the selvages. Terrific idea. This is the first selvage quilt to appear on the cover of a magazine!
Above, do you recognize my Tree of Life selvage quilt and Jodie Carleton's selvage frock? They also show Jodie's selvage chair on another page. Below see the selvage shopping sack by Linda Robertus.
Below, see my "Twilight Star" selvage quilt (left) and Linda Robertus' "Salvaged Selvedges" (right).

I picked up that magazine the other day, the articles were great, and the quilt on the cover looks very do-able, need to keep saving those selvedges!
Karen so glad the magazine arrived! Thank you for being so generous by sharing your beautiful selvedge quilts.
Congrats on being published, you must be very pleased and rightfully so. Have followed your blog for awhile now and really love what you get up to.

Fantastic! I have the magazine! Wonderful for "Selvage Lovers"!! ;)
Karen i was so excited to be in an article with you ... I feel all proper and like a real crafter...
WOW! How fantastic is this?!!!! Great publication.
Great work, ladies...will definitely check out the web version and will be in hot pursuit of a print issue (quite possible in the NY area). P.S. I love how the Aussies say "selvedge."
wow! looks like a great issue and congrats for your great quilts in it. were you interviewed for the article? (as a journalist, I really want to know that.)
Congrats! Looks like a great article!
I wanted to say thanks for the heads up on the digital magazine. I was able to get it and it's so convenient. Love your blog and have really enjoyed the selvage journey!
Congratulations ladies. You did good! It's a great article. I was so excited to spotted at my local newsagent - Hugs Natima
I just found your blog and what an honour that must be! I just ordered the 100 blocks in one magazine, and I understand you are in that too. You are super talented.

This one calls for more than a digital copy. I am going to get the hard copy. I love it all!
That's great!!
