Heather Louise of the How Do You Do This Again? blog in Colorado (you know, Lily Bear's mom) is doing a project a week in 2011, and this is her latest, a potholder that she's entering in a contest at Prudent Baby, a DIY website for crafty moms. Nice job, Heather! Oh yeah, she also says she's developing a selvage addiction; what does she mean?
I am still collecting selvages. And have not yet committed them to anything yet. But I think making a pot holder would be a fun way for me to start.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration! And I like the golden colored trim :)
It's a fun looking selvage potholder. I too have not collected any selvages yet and I should start doing it. It looks really nice! :)

Thank you again Karen. It was a fun project and didn't take too many selvages to create. My first "quilting block" as well.
ReplyDeleteIt's not an addiction. I can quit whenever I want to. (I just don't want to.)
ReplyDeleteSelvage addiction? ... oh, could you mean that large bag of selvages to which I keep adding? Or maybe that I ask most everyone I know to give me their selvages? Or those afternoons when I sit down and start sewing them together for some new project and suddenly it's dinner time? Or those pleasant minutes -- hours? -- when I decide to neaten the spaghetti-like collection by winding the long selvages around my fingers into little balls? You call that an addiction?
ReplyDeleteI have been so inspired by your use of selvages and make it a goal to have a cheeky addition to each of my quilts now if not more...Such a fun potholder! And I love your Kaffe fortune cookie admonition!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm totally confused as to what she could mean (casually sliding 8 gallon tucker tote of selvages under table) no idea at all.
