I have bigger fish to fry too! hahaha! love your expression! It's amazing the waste in our country. These little things could be made up and sold to help the needy. Am planning on doing that too! I'm a recycler for life and sad at the waste I see around me in our earth. Please everyone donate your selvages to those who would like to make something out of them. It is amazing what ideas people come up with from others' trash!

:D :D

Yes, they sure are all made from selvages -- what some people throw away! I don't know about talented but I sure do know I have great patience because of my trials in life! haha. That patience helps me handle teeny weeny pieces - guess that's my therapy - quiltng!

No, I haven't made any yet!!! haha. These are for inspiration for when I do get ready! Just started saving selvages 7 mos. ago. I regret all the tons I've thrown away so far :-( but am happily saving now to create something. Will surely post pics if they turn out good. :D :D

Welcome to the Board from VA! I am in the NW corner of the state closer to DC! It's nice to have another Virginian here! You will love all the things you learn here!
