(My computer is still acting ugly!) It was fun seeing the pictures of your grandkids; they are really growing up. That cake was a beautiful tribute for your son! I usually save my selvages, but usually wind up using them to tie thing up into bundles, or such. I like to keep them to find old fabrics online if I need some more or something. Wish I had something to report, but I still don't! Don't have time to quilt between doctor's visits lately, and in days to come! I did get to go to retreat week before last with my DIL. I had a really good time with the same gang that has been meeting up since 2016. It was wonderful to see them again --- from all over Texas! ---"Love" ---"Love"https://www.blogger.com/profile/14253789635330034057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132886906194353770.post-8540438251726692322021-07-30T14:08:24.702-07:002021-07-30T14:08:24.702-07:00That's a beautiful cake honoring your son, and...That's a beautiful cake honoring your son, and well deserved! Enjoyed the pictures of the GS's and also the animals. I usually keep my selvages, but then usually using them to tie up a box or something. I've done no quilting lately except at retreat last week. Having lots of leg and back problems! Also having serious problems with my Blogger and yahoo account. Hope they get things straightened out soon! ---"Love"---"Love"https://www.blogger.com/profile/14253789635330034057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132886906194353770.post-19391126216681914592021-07-26T03:54:05.485-07:002021-07-26T03:54:05.485-07:00I keep most of my salvages.

I have made the zip pouches, a special pouch for me to tote my hand sewing supplies in all my travels, and I like to use them as an accent on handmade purses and tote bags. Right now I’m sewing up the small pieces (about 2” wide) onto cash register tape that I was given years ago. I am going to use them in a fairly plain layer cake I was given as an accent stripe in various places on the 10” square. I figure that will be a large, easy pattern to make a quick quilt. I like to have 3/4” above the selvage showing so I see the beautiful fabrics. If I can find pictures, I’ll send you some in an email.~Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05599647758618747101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132886906194353770.post-17525067052071182902021-07-25T20:58:34.888-07:002021-07-25T20:58:34.888-07:00That was very decent of the Commanding Officer to ...That was very decent of the Commanding Officer to have a ceremony for your son. Those grandsons are growing up fast. What a great idea for the selvedges. I never keep mine. That moth looks like a leaf presumably camouflage on the right plant. Olaf still thinks he’s a puppy.

I save mine, but my mom and a quilty friend get them, as I find them tedious. So when I get a shoebox full, one or the other gets it...and I start another! I'll be watching to see what your birthday shopping trip brings.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01515254293191853580noreply@blogger.com
