Marit's New Selvage Quilt

Marit of Norway recently finished this selvage quilt which was inspired by Stephanie's string quilt challenge on www.loftcreations.blogspot.com. What a fresh color assortment. Nice job, Marit! See more on her blog: www.quilt-it.blogspot.com. She has wonderful quilts there that you will enjoy.

Selvage Bag from Norway

I sent some selvages to my friend May Britt from Norway recently, and she made this charming purse for on-the-go projects. What a nice job she did! I like the red zippered opening and her mostly-white selvage layout.

Check out her blog: http://www.abyquilt.blogspot.com/. Have you ever wanted to attend a gathering of quilters in Norway? Well you can take a virtual trip on her blog.

May Britt's Little Selvage Quilts

These two little selvage quilts were made by May Britt of Norway. Aren't they creative? I especially like her stems and use of buttons. Also notice her use of fabrics with words incorporated in them, and words sewn into the backgrounds too. The quilt above has ribbon with little blue flowers, and the quilt below has a row of lace (touching the stem). Take a close look at the quilting on the flower below; isn't that clever?

The quilt in the top photo was exchanged with another quilter, and the one in the bottom photo was a challenge with two friends, Hanne and Bente. May's quilting friends are so lucky.
