Adventures of a Novelty Fabric and Selvage Obsessed Quilter

Glad you stopped by!

I am a busy wife and the mom of 19 year old twins, a boy and a girl who are Sophomores at Syracuse University.

I have been quilting since the spring of 2008. I love novelty fabrics, colorful and unique.

Selvage quilting is addictive! Who knew the "junk" we cut off and threw out would be what I now save! I started a new tradition when I travel--visiting quilt stores! I particularly enjoy going to stores that have been named in the Quilt Sampler Featured Shop Lists-

  8. Beautiful Zinger quilt! I LOVE the black and white. I am working on a Zinger now, but not with selvages. Just started saving them last summer and don't have enough for a quilt yet! LOL

    I love your background fabric - what is it?

    I have 5 year old boy-girl twins by the way...LOVE IT!

  9. Haven't started on mine yet - love the black and white - very inspiring.

    Question - was it difficult to quilt with the variable thickness (one layer of background vs multiple thickness of selvages)

  10. Don't enter me in the giveaway since I have lots and lots of selvages but I just had to say how much I like your zinger. It is wonderful.

  12. A few have asked about the background fabric. I have to admit, rather sheepishly, that I got it at walmart around halloween- I walked by it and thought the circles were perfect for a selvage backing, and the fact that it was black and white made me have to have it!

  19. Very nice Jill. I also love your dotted background fabric, but I like the combo of black/whites with colours too. I am intrigued by selvage quilting and plan to do some of my own but don't have enough selvages yet.
