See Kathi Price's Selvage Fabric Bins!




Kathi Price of Texas makes the most charming selvage items! Now she's making fabric bins. These 3 photos are all the same bin: front, back and inside-out. The fabric with all the words (Sweetwater by Moda) goes perfectly with the selvages, doesn't it?
Kathi is all over the web! She sells her kreations too. See them at:

Birthday party prize winners (packs of interesting new selvages) announced tomorrow! Scroll down to enter the drawing. (April 29 post)

Kathi Price's Selvage Stool


Kathi Price of Texas is creating with selvages again, and this project is outstanding! I love it. I'm keeping an eye out for just the right chair or stool to add selvages to. Here's what she had to say.

"This was a stool from my Grandmother and since selvages came into my life I have wanted to cover the stool. Viola! I've loved the things you have been featuring especially the beautiful scenery from your travels."

Using Tiny Selvages




Kathi Price of Frisco, TX was making some mini key fobs for a charity giveaway when she spied some tiny selvage scraps left over from another project, and she had an "A-Ha!" moment. Don't you love it when that happens? Now this is a quick selvage project:)

Kathi Price Sews While Others Sleep!

Kathi Price of Frisco, TX is already hard at work making wonderful Christmas stockings! Like Rumplestilskin, she is sewing while others are sleeping, or are on summer vacation. She has a nice collection of new Christmas fabrics too. Light colors and lots of words.

These stockings are so cheerful. Kathi really knows how to "put it all together." I like how she sort of framed the peppermint flower above with the turquoise selvages.

See stocking #2 below:

Below, see the tape that says "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star?" That's perfect in a selvage arrangement, don't you think?

These two stockings make a great pair. Thanks for the inspiration, Kathi!

There are lots of ways you can see what Kathi's making, and contact her. Visit:

Kathi's Adds "One of a Kind" Tape!

Kathi Price of Frisco, Texas found this nice "One of a Kind" tape on Etsy, and look how she added it to her selvages. What a great idea. I really like the fonts on this tape. It's cheerful look goes well with the Christmas stocking!

I'm hoping fabric manufacturers will start making their selvages more interesting. Then the selvage quilts we've already made will have that "old-fashioned" look, and our new ones will be even better!

See Kathi's blog and beautiful "One of a Kind" merchandise for sale on Etsy:

More Selvage Stashes!

Kathi Price keeps her selvages on these interesting hangers (above). I think that little lizzard is waving at us. Very artistic. See Kathi's blog and Etsy shop at:

Susan McConnell keeps her selvages (above) in a brown paper bag! I think I see a gray Japanese selvage in there on the right. I bet she just doesn't want to tempt burglars. (I don't mean Anya and Rita, of course!) http://hangingonbyaneedleandthread.blogspot.com/

Michele Lancaster keeps her selvages in a shallow box (above). Good idea, you can see what you're looking for. I love that colorful selvage front and center. It certainly is a "variety pack."

Jean of http://www.quiltinjeannie.blogspot.com/ keeps her selvages in bags (above). Makes sense to me. I think I see enough selvages there for a quilt, Jean! Cool shamrocks.

This vertical selvage collection belongs to Debbie in Jerusalem. When she visits New York and New Jersey she stocks up on fabric (and selvages, of course). See Debbie's blog at:
More selvage stashes to come on May 5th, 9th, and 13th! Don't miss tomorrow's post: Julia Wood's "Tic Tac Tomato." It's really amazing!!

Kathi Price Invents Selvage Applique!


Take a look at this awesome selvage wall hanging by Kathi Price of Frisco, Texas. She bought the little girl fabric from an etsy seller in Japan, and I love how she used it on this quilt: selvage quilt applique! Another great moment in selvage quilt history. And I like how she made a variety of selvage block arrangements, a sort of Gee's Bend style. Such a creative quilt!

Kathi Price of Frisco, Texas is really getting into making selvage bowls! She sure does a beautiful job too! She wraps selvage strips around clothesline and coils it into bowls. See Kathi's blog for lots of great photos of her work. She also sells the bowls at very reasonable prices in her etsy store. I may have to buy one of these for my future quilt studio. Wouldn't that look stunning?

Amazing Selvage Bowls!


Look at this incredible selvage bowl by Kathi Price, a talented selvage artist from Frisco, Texas!
-
Just this morning I realized that you can't use selvages to make one of these bowls because you can't cut the selvages on the bias. Then, ironically, Kathi sends me these photos today! How did she do this? I see more of that nice blue and white striped fabric that she used to bind the top edge of her beautiful selvage tote bag (see post March 11). I wonder if Kathi has any "in-progress" photos to share. I'm really curious!

Tote Bag by Kathi Price



Kathi Price of Frisco, Texas made this beautiful tote bag, her first selvage adventure. I love that blue and white striped fabric she used to bind the top. The selvages arranged diagonally look great and I like how she cut the fabric with the cartoons nice and wide so you can see the pictures. Great job, Kathi!
