Britta's Pin Cushion and TaTuTa

What a pretty pin cushion Britta Eggenstein of Germany has made! Blue on one side, and red/gold/yellow on the other side. And such an elegant presentation on that beautiful antique sewing machine!

Britta also made a TaTuTa (I've never heard that word before, but it must mean something like "tisssue holder." Yes, I am very clever.) If you check out the selvage stash posts, you'll see Britta's stash.

Isn't it fun to have quilting buddies all over the world? I really enjoy that! Of course we are all buddies; we all hang out at the Selvage Blog together, right?

Rita Joins the Selvage Quilters

Rita of Wellsboro, PA was inspired by her friends Anya and Susan (selvage quilters you have read about here) to make her first selvage project, a toilet tissue holder. There's no going back now, Rita! Especially with friends like these!

Selvage Tutorial from Canada!

Mam in Canada made something with her selvages that she says she can really use...a tissue holder. And during the process of making it she took photos so we can see how she did it. Great idea! Thanks, Mam.

See her website and the tutorial at: http://atypicalife.net/mam/2009/03/happy-saturday-happy-selvage/#comment-963

Mam started sewing when she was 5 years old, but she sat on a needle and didn't return to sewing until just before her 50th birthday! Ouch!

P.S. Her DH gives her a rose every Saturday. Isn't that sweet?
