Awesome Kaffe String Quilt by Norma and Jackie

Jackie from www.cvquiltworks.blogspot.com posted a gorgeous string quilt today. This is just a little sneek peek close-up view. It was made by her friend Norma; Jackie machine quilted it for her with variegated rayon thread. I really want to make one of these! Jackie will be offering kits, or if you prefer, stash enhancers (fat quarters of these delicious Kaffe prints). See more photos of this quilt on her blog. Nice job, ladies!

Side Chair Gets Five Dollar Makeover!

This chair was given new life by Mary Beth. It cost her $5 total! She used beautiful Kaffe selvages and I love that purple paint. Didn't she do a fabulous job? Yayyy, Mary Beth!

Thank you to Jackie of www.cvquiltworks.blogspot.com for telling us about this! The Selvage Blog needs lots of field reporters like Jackie and you to find these things! Keep them coming!

Jackie's Butterfly Love Wall Pockets

Take a look at Jackie's blog to see more great photos of her recent project. I love the colors in this. She does beautiful machine quilting for customers and for herself.

Also, see her post about clipping vs. not clipping those little "ears" you get when piecing. Tons of comments from readers, very interesting. You will like this blog!
