Above: "The Beauties of New York" by Bernice Caneill won first prize in the Miniature Pictoral category.
Above and Below: "Fortune Wheels" by Anna Sinitsyna.
"Grandmother's Hexagarden" by Mary Anne Ciccotelli (above and below). She says she is obsessed with folded hexagons. This one was beautiful.
Here it is again, my "Red Zinger" selvage quilt! I just want to make sure everyone sees a selvage quilt. That's one of my missions. It's surprising how many men stop and take a good look at it. And yes I did wear my selvage vest. It was wonderful to meet so many selvage quilters!!
I also brought the fan quilt (above). I called it "Firing on All Cylinders."
I made a bunch of mini quilt cabinets and pin cushions for the Boutique.
My favorite vendor was there: Pat Yamin of "Come Quilt With Me." She brought a big supply of templates that can be used to make one-patch quilts (like in her book), or whatever you like. I got an "Ice Cream Cone" template set. It looks like a thousand pyramids, but with one curved side. She also had fabrics, patterns, tools and a beautiful display. I took a photo of her selvage Tumbler quilt. (above) She'll be at Quilt Pacific coming up soon. Check out her website at: http://www.comequiltwithme.com/.
The big prize ribbons were made using Mark Lipinski's Katmandu fabric, embellished with embroidery and beads. Very pretty.
I love this symmetrical quilt by Pauline Hamer, called "Hey Yo-Yo!" (Above)
New York City is always an interesting place for people-watching. Lots of color, style, and an international flair. (Next 2 photos below.)
On my way home I saw this clever photo (below). People are so creative!!!
Thanks for visiting the quilt show with me. There was so much to see, this is just a small sample.
The winner of the selvage pillow is.......durmroll here..........SARA! Yayy Sara! I wish I had 127 selvage pillows so I could send one to everybody who posted a comment on this give-away! She was chosen at random by my 22 year old son David.
Karen in New Zealand has her selvage squares laid out and ready to assemble into a log cabin streak of lightning. This is so pretty. I love the green center squares. She almost changed her mind and made the squares red, but I'm glad she went back to green.
You already know that Anya writes on her selvage postcards. Here's how she does it: First she sews the selvage down using a straight stitch, then she programs her Bernina to stitch her message using the alphabet feature. So simple. What an ingenious idea! 
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?
Heather Bailey's daughter Charlotte asked for a hair-do that no one has ever seen before! This is what she got. I really love it.
I saw this amusing photo on a delightfully artistic blog: http://susannassketchbook.typepad.com/susannas_sketchbook/
Genius Jodie Carleton of Ballarat, Australia has done it again! She is the creator of the selvage dress and the parasol (shown at right on this blog). Now she has made this upholstered chair! It's stunning, elegant, expertly crafted, charming, makes-me-want-to-do-my-happy-dance and kiss somebody! Oh Jodie, you are the best!
You might win this 16" square selvage pillow that I made for the Moda Bake Shop. Wouldn't it look spiffy in your quilt studio? Simply enter a Comment on this post before midnight on March 23rd. The winner will be announced right here on March 24th. This will be a random drawing, so you don't have to write anything fancy!
Look at this incredible selvage bowl by Kathi Price, a talented selvage artist from Frisco, Texas!
Carla Barrett made these pretty tulips using selvages that were given to her by a friend who dyes her own fabrics. Carla has been using selvages for years. I like shaggy selvages, and these are definitely the shaggiest I've ever seen! And check out all the quilting on this postcard!
Anya of Wellsboro, PA made these personalized postcards for her friends who just celebrated birthdays. The first two are for Dear Jane enthusiasts, and the third is for a friend who loves brights. They have supplied her with lots of selvages, so I suspect they may be seeing some of their own selvages again! lol. Great idea, Anya!
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!
Sandy Street of Alabama made this awesome pink zinger selvage quilt! Isn't it great? She machine quilted it using her Brother 1500. Sandy loves to make scrap quilts, and she says she had a lot of fun making this one.
The machine quilters among you will especially appreciate this cartoon from Carla Barrett in Northern California. Carla is an award-winning machine quilter who also enjoys beading, freeform crochet, metal and jewelry, and creating cartoons. You will love the fabulous photos of her machine quilting on her blog: http://www.featheredfibers.wordpress.com/. Keep an eye out for her new selvage project too!!
Lynne in New Hampshire has a bad case of the selvage bug! She recently went fabric shopping with her sister who is also a quilter, and bought 38 FQs checking each one to make sure it was cut from the selvage side.
Do you need a bunch of selvages to supplement your stash? You could win this selvage ball or one of two bags of Moda selvages. (There will be 3 winners.) Simply visit: http://modalissa.blogspot.com/2009/03/selvages-tell-story.html and leave a comment! I kinda like it as an object d'art!
This ribbon style wallpaper from Studio Ditte, a design studio from the Netherlands, has the look of selvages. While it would be a bit much for a whole room, a small area could be quite nice. Visit: http://www.bloesem.blogs.com/ to see Irene Hoofs' other modern interior design features.
Front is shown above. Back is shown below.
I made this pretty selvage pillow and wrote up a tutorial for the Moda Bake Shop site: http://www.modabakeshop.com/2009/03/selvage-pillow.html. As you know, Moda has added Scrapbags containing scraps and selvage strips to their product line of Charm Packs, FQ Bundles, Jelly Rolls, Honey Buns, Layer Cakes (those are 10 inch squares of compatible fabrics), Turnovers (triangles), and more. 
Take a look at what Bonnie made. Here's her story: "Hi, I am intrigued with any fabric that has writing on it and when I saw the results of your selvage uses and considered the possibilities, I was hooked. But with just a tiny little stash I ended up with a tiny little project. Paper cup holders!!! And I LOVE them. They are interlined with the reflective stuff for potholders and best of all...they work!!! In the pic they don't look the same size but they are!" 
Now it's my turn to nominate some of my favorite blogs. (In addition to all the fine blogs that have been featured here on the Selvage Blog, of course.) Take a look at these:
Anya of Wellsboro, PA made this amazing selvage wall quilt. It now hangs on the door of her sewing studio. She chose the title in honor of her quilting friends who contributed their selvages for her project. She's afraid that they will find out that there is now a market for selvages and decide to sell them on eBay rather than give them to her! Gee, that gives me an idea!
According to "Womenfolk.com" selvage quilts are now all the rage! We already knew that, right? But of course, we are on the cutting edge. (I never tire of dumb puns; I hope the same is true for you.) You can read Chris Dahl's article at: http://www.womenfolk.com/frugal_quilting/selvage_quilts.htm.
