This is Jen Duncan's Blue Zinger. Isn't it beautiful? She has it hanging in her quilt studio. Jen showed us the first block a while back, so I emailed her to see if we could have a look at the finished quilt. She sent this photo right away. I think a selvage quilt is a very inspirational quilt studio decoration. I particularly like her little diagonal corner blocks. Thanks, Jen.
Jen Duncan of Eureka, California just finished this great selvage chair for her sewing room. I like it. Here's what she says:
"I've wanted for some time to recover my sewing chair in selvages. It was an ugly fabric covered office chair but still worked fine so I couldn't justify throwing it away. Spent my free time during the past couple of days finally getting it done. Overall I like how it turned out and thought I better share it with you, since you are the original source of all my selvage-y inspiration! :-) Not sure what I'll be making with them next but you can be sure it'll be something because I really do enjoy working with them."
Nice job, Jen!
Jen Duncan had to have a selvage quilt yesterday! (She was in a hurry.) So necessity being the mother of invention, she came up with some ways to make a lightning-fast Blue Zinger! Take a look at the photos on her blog: http://www.jenduncan.typepad.com/ Her post is dated May 12th. You will really like her blog.
Jennifer Duncan stores her selvages in this nice basket (above). When the basket is up on the shelf, some selvages peek over the edge so she doesn't forget them (below). We've seen some of her selvages in the past, remember those nice Japanese selvages with the little "pac man" type designs on them? See her blog at: http://www.jenduncan.typepad.com/
Britta in Germany has a whole boxful of selvages, nice and wide too (below). A rainy day, and she'll have a new selvage project! See her blog at: http://www.quilt-girlie.blogspot.com/.
Amy Sheridan of San Diego, CA keeps her selvages in a gallon zip-lock bag (below). That red and white striped one is going to look great! She's using my rule-of-thumb that when you have a gallon bagful, you're ready to make a selvage quilt.
Anya of PA keeps her sizable selvage collection in clear plastic bags (below). It looks like she has lots of quilting projects going in there. Check her blog to see what she's up to: http://www.hillscreekquilter.blogspot.com/. 
Still more selvage stashes to come on May 9th, 13th, and 18th! Stay tuned.
Jen Duncan has been taking a look at her selvages. She has such an interesting collection! Take a look at the little "Pac Man" color windows! Um, Jen, your selvages are still attached. Do you have to pet this pile a little longer before you get out the scissors? We understand.
