Selvage Boxes by Tonya Alexander

Tonya Alexander from Eye Candy Quilts in the Pacific Northwest made these selvage covered hat boxes. She shows you just how to do it, starting at the beginning, below. And the story is charming too.

But that's not all! Wowzers, take a look at her quilts! Yayy, Tonya!

Meet Lenie Mosselman van der Spuij!

I met Lenie and her friends at the AQS Show in Paducah. My sister Eileen and I were having breakfast at the Cracker Barrel. We were wearing our selvage vests, (of course!) and these quilters from the Netherlands were sporting their selvage tote bags. Immediately recognizing kindred spirits, we all connected and visited like old friends!

Lenie sent me this photo of some boxes she made. There are so many ways to use selvages!!
