With just under a week to go before the start of the Christmas QAL 18 I thought I would share some alternate colourways with you – it doesn’t have to be all about Christmas!!
Whilst I made my quilt in…

This year will be my second year working at Festival of Quilts. It seems like yesterday that I turned up at Pinhole Quilting’s stand, well shall I say floor space because on the Tuesday lunchtime that was all it wa…

Abigail Sheridan de Graaff wrote a new post, cut&alter :: A use for your selvedges 7 years, 11 months ago
The funny thing about things that you know is that you think everyone else know them too!
Last week I packaged and sent of some wadding to a fellow blogger and when it arrived she got in touch to say what a…

Great idea

Thanks for visiting Lyn 🙂

Hi Sue – all I can see is a square box but I think it was supposed to be a smiley face – thank you!!

Like you I’ve kept selvedges for years, I often use them on fabric postcards to separate message from address sections on the back. Some I’ve come across have little pictures in the fabric colours (Lewis and Irene) and little quotes (Moda)
-
Thanks for visiting and taking the time to comment Suzan. I like the idea of using them on postcards – will make a separate bag for those ones that are prettier!

-
Thanks for stopping by Ami and taking the time to leave a comment. So glad it has made you want to save your selvedges!
-
All these great uses for them – I save the less pretty bits for tying up my plants in the garden!
-
That’s a great idea – I used to used laddered tights and stockings but as I no longer work in an office environment I don’t have a ready supply!
-
-
Cute idea Abigail. I make things with the ones I save but now I’ll be doing this too!
-
That’s good to hear! What do you make with them currently?
-
Cute small items – pin cushions, candle/mug mats & Xmas decorations. Great cheap things for craft fairs
-
Good ideas – will keep in mind.

I also wrap presents in fat quarters for those stitching friends and finish off with either selvages or ribbon, therefore nothing gets thrown away! Like you I think everyone knows to do this! Great to put it into writing for those who have yet to discover this wrapping method!
-
What a great idea to use a FQ as wrapping paper – I hadn’t thought of this!!

The day at last has arrived – and what a scorcher it is set to be. Rather inopportune to be releasing a Christmas pattern in the middle of a heatwave but you never can tell with an English summer.
Ta-da!! I giv…

Abigail Sheridan de Graaff wrote a new post, cut&alter Christmas 18 Quilt Along 7 years, 11 months ago
Way back last December, I was given the chance to work with the 2018 Christmas range of Makower fabrics. The brief was to design a quilt that could be run as a Block of the Month (BOM) or Mystery Quilt. Now I know a…

this looks interesting, and mixing with the linen look fabrics is inspired .. they are lovely to work with.
-
Thanks Sylvia – they have been wonderful fabrics to work with. And as I said I have a few projects in my head that would look fab in the linen textures!
