Sylvia Reguero from Málaga, Spain made this handsome little selvage bag. Very clever how she bound it with bias binding, like a quilt. The green binding contrasts nicely with all the red selvages. Very pretty, Sylvia!

These two little selvage quilts were made by May Britt of Norway. Aren't they creative? I especially like her stems and use of buttons. Also notice her use of fabrics with words incorporated in them, and words sewn into the backgrounds too. The quilt above has ribbon with little blue flowers, and the quilt below has a row of lace (touching the stem). Take a close look at the quilting on the flower below; isn't that clever?
Steffi from Germany is getting her Selvage Stars quilt ready for quilting. Isn't this incredible? You need a lot of selvages to make each star a different color! She must have a huge selvage stash, (or did have, I should say). Fantastic job, Steffi!
Janelle from Ellenbrook, WA, Australia made this fantastic selvage bag. She decided to use selvages on one side only. The fabric she found for the other side is perfect! I like the pink polka dots on the selvage side. Nice!
Easter is a big day for me. I didn't "get it" until I was 33 years old. Okay, I wasn't really trying most of that time either. Now it all makes sense.
Pam Hansen did a terrific job designing these sewing items featuring selvages. 
This dress was made of porcelain by Li Xiaofeng. I like it. I know it's April Fool's Day, but this really is a porcelain dress.
George Washington is caught riding backwards in this 1937 photo in Life magazine.
Jette Huneck is a quilter in Denmark. She's been quilting for 8 years, but these are her first selvage projects. I like how she featured black and white with just a light touch of color, even in the yoyo flowers. After making the tote, she made pot-holders with the left-overs. Great idea. Very nice, Jette!
You've seen Akiko's selvage whale; the pattern is in Sew News. 
Keep an eye out for the new May/June issue of Quiltmaker...but here's a sneek peek of one of my favorite quilts!
I'm really excited to tell you about this quilt. This year I designed the Blocks of the Month for my guild, Empire Quilters in New York City. This was the block that we kicked off the year with in September. I called it "Candy Stick," but I like Quiltmaker's name better, "Asterisk."
My challenge was to design a block that looks difficult, but is actually easy and fun to make. Those are my favorites. It also had to work as a scrappy quilt and have wide appeal. Many quilters participated and we had a great time. (I made this quilt in advance to show the guild how it would look, and it's one of my favorites. I like how Quiltmaker photographed it too.)

Georgina is an Argentinian living in Qatatr in the Middle East. She's reading a book now that belonged to her mother when she was a university student. To protect this precious book, Georgina made a selvage book envelope. What beautiful soft colors, and that button is perfect! You can see more beautiful photos of this project and others on her blog: http://www.eltallerdegeorgina.blogspot.com/.
Jill Bunis from New Jersey (Cre8fmomquilts) is the maker of the selvage cornices, the upholstered club chair, and more. Now she's whipped up a tote bag to bring to the quilt show in Lancaster, PA. I like the wide color stripes in this bag. You can see in-progress photos on her blog: http://www.cre8fmomquilts.blogspot.com/. Nice job, Jill!
Anya of Wellsboro, Pennsylvania just finished this selvage quilt. She used the quilt-as-you-go method, and she doesn't recommend it. "Too many issues" she says. I'll take her word for it.
Ann J. from France spent International Quilting Day making this selvage pillow. She used the pattern I made for Moda Bake Shop. I like how it came out. Nice soft colors.
Akiko Kunst of Massachusetts made this selvage chicken! Isn'st he cute? She is making them for her guild's quilt show boutique. The show will be on July 24-25 at Tantasqua Regional High School in Sturbridge, MA. She'd better make tons of these little chicks! They're going to be popular, don't you think? I'd buy one...or more. :)
Katie from Ocean Grove, Victoria, Australia just finished her first selvage project, a selvage lampshade! She found the tutorial on www.selvagequilts.com and decided to give it a go. That's the spirit! You can see more of her stuff at: www.5starbaby.blogspot.com.
