I took the "fabric" that I had made from selvages, and made five 6" potholders. I'm going to give four of these to the gals who dropped their selvages into my bag at SpoolSpinners Bee, if they can recognize any of the selvages!
And here are the backs of those potholders.Next time, I am going to use only, or mostly, the selvage that has the printing on it, and dispose of the side that has no writing.
Now Charlie and I are going out to Leo's restaurant to celebrate our 41st wedding anniversary. How CAN we have been married for that long?
Sara
Gratitudes:
Still married after all these years
Still laugh together daily
But still both drop things in piles, rather than file
Congratulations on the wedding anniversary!! That is quite an achievement nowadays, isn't it? Hope you had a lovely evening.
ReplyDeleteYour selvedge potholders are very cute! I think that's a great use for them. As far as the selvedges w/o the printing & dots, if you grow tomatoes, they're great for tying up your vines, or some other garden use like that. Quite strong and colorful and fun to see in the garden. Just an idea. . .
What a great way to use selvages. Now I wish I had kept all those I threw away.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your wedding anniversary Sara!
