Kathy Wilcox lives in the hill country of Texas and this is the view from her sewing machine! The conditions are perfect this year for sunbonnets, the Texas state flower. Oh, I love it!
Wow, take a look at Kathy's new Blue Zinger! This is fantastic. And she did some stunning quilting too: feathers in the blue wedges and meandering on the selvages. She did this with her Bernina 440. Yayyy, Kathy! As my son would say, "Sweet!"
Kathy has made other selvage items too: a tote bag, pot holders, and tissue holders, but this takes the cake!

I like the blue! Beautiful quilting too.
Great work!
Those Texas wildflowers are gorgeous, and so is Kathy's quilt. That's a great effort on her quilting.
Linda, who's still in Australia because my Friday flight to the US was aborted. A bad take-off...scary.
So gorgeous - I need to start restashing on selvedges!
Just discovered you by Googling string quilts and love your blog! But, really, isn't it "selvedge"? At what point did people start spelling it differently?
what a great quilt... faboulous...

Did you know that legend has it that those bluebonnets will not grow outside the Texas state lines?
Awesome zinger!
Marijka,
It seems it's spelled both ways. I used to spell it selvedge, but my editor at the American Quilter's Society insisted that it was "selvage" so I said okay!
Karen :)
