(For anyone interested in the quilts at my retreat, head over to visit Prairie Peasant to see her posts on the retreat. I kept forgetting my camera in my room, three flights up.)
I've had lots of entries for my selvage needle book giveaway (scroll down two posts since you can still enter), but I gave three away at my retreat, so I decided to make some more. As I was looking through my selvages, I found some with lots of words and so I kept sewing the same selvage piece to itself because it just worked.
And then I kept going with more the continuous selvage look. I also made one with little bits and pieces of solids in a wonky Amish style. Working with a small 5 by 9 canvas is quite fun, and if you don't like the idea, just move on.

I have another bag of strings collected for you. The Amish one patch is very cute.
I like the Amish pieces, especially those 1" squares! My lovely needlecase is being put to good use keeping my bookbinding needles separate. Thanks! :)
Your needlecases are all so charming! I especially like those "wordy" ones!
Your little Amish quilt is great. You finished that quickly! And great hand quilting. I hope it brings lots of $$ for AAQI!

Very cute, and a lot of patience to sew so small
The Amish colors are so nice....I loved looking at them in the Amish quilt shops when we were there in November.
