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-

The Playroom...


a.k.a. the room o'selvages!
I have had several requests to
show a picture of my playroom
now that my cornices, quilt and chair are finished.
The chair is really on the other side of the
room, but I had to move it for the photograph.
I love how everything came out,
and this room makes me smile everytime I am in it!
Hmmm. pillows for the couch??
Even I think that would be too much :)

    I understand why it makes you smile. It made me smile to see it. I can't imagine how wonderful it would be to have your room.

    I love what you did with selvages. It is a remarkable room. I just started saving selvages. I think I will start small and work up. Great job. Love to read about you.

    What fun, Jill, I am still collecting. Did I mention on the Blue project I'm working on, I was pointing out to a gal in class that I let a selvage show "on purpose", and she asked, "Why?!?"
    I said, "Because." She didn't get it....

    oh how about a big bolster pillow across the back of the couch?
    I think you should do pillows but maybe with a splash of color
    room looks amazing, I would smile too
    I just love that chair
