Awhile back in the late spring I won a book called “Selvage Edge” by Karen Griska. I posted about my win and the intention that one day I will make something from the book after I collect up some edges. My stash is small so that might take awhile.
Well imagine my surprised today when I got home from my yoga class to see a small box had arrived for me and it was full of selvages! My secret pal last year from the Dear Jane Secret Pal Club has been saving some edges for me and when her box was full she sent them off to me. Thank you Marianne!
Pictured is the book I won last spring and the box of selvages with the cute card that Marianne sent. You can check out Marianne’s blog at the link above.
The monthly quilting group that I am in meets tonight for our monthly get together – I decided to join the group for supper before the group meets – I normally skip the meal and just meet for quilting but thought I would join in for the meal tonight too. After all I missed two months of meetings, I need an extra long meeting tonight to see and hear what every one is working on. I will bring my camera and see what quilts are on display tonight – I am not bringing anything as I have nothing finished! Maybe next time.
EDIT: 3 days of rain in row – it is coming down kind of heavy right now – maybe the long hot dry spell is over – this weekend to be in the 80′s and 50′s at night!!!

How very cool of Marianne to save all those selvages for you! I’ve seen some really neat projects made out of them.
I had hoped to have my pirate monkey quilt done for tonights group, but alas I don’t. I’ll be bringing along the batik quilt I just finished for Jim. See you there!

Very cool of Marianne to do that for you. I rarely have selvages long enough to even think of saving.

How nice to get a surprise package in the mail. I was hoping to join you gals tonight but I’m terribly hoarse from my throat procedure. SO have fun and maybe I’ll see you guys next month.
Nice generous selvedges. YOu can have fun with those.

How nice that was of Marianne! I remember you posted about the win. A great way to use up selvages too.
Yesterday was nasty; rain showers the entire day. Today is sunny, very nice.
