I'm a Lucky One

A few weeks ago, I was the lucky winner in a fabric giveaway from designer Valori Wells. She has a new line of fabric called Urban Flannels and was giving away bundles to lucky readers of her blog.

Valori and her mom, Jean Wells, are well-known in the quilting community. They run the Stitchin' Post in Sisters, Oregon, where the famous Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show is held every July.

I received 7 fat quarters of cute fabric tied up in a lovely bow and can't wait to make something out of them, but I'm not sure what yet. I don't want to waste any of the pretty fabric, so I started with a thank you postcard for Valori using the selvages from the fat quarters.

I bet the postcard is cute with the salvage edges. I have seen so many pictures of quilts made lately with the edges like that.

Very very pretty, it'll look so delicate no matter what you do with it.

Congratulations on that great win!
What a great idea to make the thank you card from the selvages.
