The pre-project giveaway

The big selvedge project is a bees whisker away from completion and I have been thinking of a way to thank everyone for the their support (and selvedges).

I would like to introduce you to Team Selvedge.


You know, I started selvedgeing a very long time ago and people used to send me their spares but it was only recently that I thought I had better start to keep a list so please please please if you are part of team selvedge and not on this list -email me from my profile page.


This is a giveaway with rules - and two SELVEDGE prizes!

Prize one: This one goes to one of the Team selvedge members (drawn at random).

Prize two: Anyone , anywhere in the whole wide world can enter this giveaway (including team selvedge) but to enter you must :

1. Visit at least two of the blogs on the Team Selvedge list.

2. You must leave a comment on each of those two blogs

3. Come back here and leave a comment telling me which blogs you visited


The winner will be drawn at random and I will check for their comments on the blogs they say they visited. Does that make sense? So have a look - Is there someone there you have never heard of?- pop over and visit , you might just find a new exciting blog to add to your list.....

I know some people are still collecting selvedge for me - You won't be forgotten I promise I will do something again after the next big project.......yes it is already planned (In fact I have already drawn the pattern.......)

The winners will be drawn in one week -and then I will show you the the big project that all these generous people were involved in.

  1. The generosity of others is truly wonderful! Along with many of my regular reads, I've visited quite a new-to-me blogs today. Thanks for sharing. I've added a few to my reader feed, but was particularly taken with Two Little Banshees and Moogsmum.

    I'll read through your directions to see if I an help you out with big project number 2.

  2. I stopped over at flower garden and scrapbag to leave comments...both very fun blogs. Love all of your selvedges--I just decided to start collecting them myself...I've been quilting for 15 years and have thrown so many away...never again!

  4. Well this entry requirement was easy as I had already this morning left comments on Cass's blog (snailblazer) and Jess' blog (Button Beauty). I'm so very excited to see your big project. And if I ever do end up with any selvages I will send them your way. Unfortunately I hardly ever buy new fabric, and when I do they are usually only fat quarters, which rarely contain a nice selvage....but anyway, I digress. What a lovely thing you are doing by acknowledging everyone - although the downside is that I now have heaps of new blogs to visit which means more time sitting on my butt at this computer. Aaaahhh, the rigours of blogging.....

  5. I observe that you are not "link challenged" as I am. :>} I started at the top and was working my way down the list when I realized TWO HOURS had gone by, it is 1:30 a.m., and I must get to bed! It's been fun meeting your friends. I left comments on a few; Our Shabby Cottage, The Quilting B, Flower Garden, Frogs Legs, and perhaps some others.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Hola! I'm so curious about this big selvedge project. I keep seeing your posts about the other things you've made with the fabric scraps so I can only imagine what the BIG one is like.

    Cheers,
    Tracey

Thanks for introducing me to these ladies!

  49. I have lots of selvedge sat around somewhere. Some of it very bright and colourful, others not so.

    I visited SillyGilly because I went to school with a girl called Gilly so it stood out and Lululollylegs because the name is brilliant! I'm glad I did because I got to see some lovely fabric and a baby dingo puppy!

  60. Hi Jodie,
    Yep, I am collecting selvedges for you. Will probably mail a bunch right around the first of December. I checked out several of the blogs you listed as I was only familiar with a couple of them. I left a comment on Snailblazer and I am a Ginger Monkey. I liked them so well that I am going to add them to my favorite blog list. You are already there. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  61. I'm intrigued to see your final selvedge project. I already visit A lot of team selvedge's blogs, so today I visited Scrap bag and dont look now and have added them to my favourites

    ReplyDelete
  62. I popped in to see Selina (What were we thinking) and Annie( Flower Garden).

    I think its brilliant that everyone sent you bits of selvedge and that you are giving away not one but two items. I love the craft blog community, everyone is so helpful and creative.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Ok. Now I feel guilty I haven't been able to make it to the post office to post it yet. I measured what I had when I first said "I'll send you mine!" and it was something close to 16 meters, mostly 1.5m or longer, and because of its size and weight I can't just put it in an envelope. I promise Monday at the latest! (I just need a day off! I've worked two weeks straight at the moment, so maybe I might be sneaky and post it from work...)

    ReplyDelete
  64. Hi!

    I looked at two sites--Two Little Banshees (love that name) and Our Shabby Cottage! I loved them both and have marked your site. I plan to take the time sometime soon and go through the whole list. I'm very inspired to start sewing again and quit lurking!

  65. Hi Jodie, I checked out all the blogs, but I commented on Moogsmum (Crafting is the best Medicine) and Rousabout (I've Become a Hooker). Thanks for introducing me to some great new blogs were I can continue to find fabulous ideas, support my craft habbit.

    ReplyDelete
  66. I am so proud to be included in the team selvedge list.. My selvedges will be binned no more!!. You are a genius. The link has been a great boost for us little unknown people. Now you need to run a "what will it be?" post before the big reveal.. Thanks for being so inspiring..and humorous.

  67. Hey Jodie,
    Dropped a note at Bernadette's and Rachel's. I was thinking a Saturday in November for a Ballarat and district blog get together! I don't want to miss out like I did on the last one!

  69. Hi Jodie. Jennifer here to say, What would I do without your blog to cheer me up and give me such great laughs!? I've said that before but I have to say it again. And of course I admire your work so much. Even my husband likes to see your stuff. As of late he loved the snails, exclaiming 'their so cute' and got a kick out of the racetrack. Guys like games, no matter how simple! Thanks for this giveaway. I left comments on 2 little banshees and 4 wise monkeys...loved their sites and their names!

    ReplyDelete
  70. I visited LOTS of the sites and enjoyed every one! Left comments on Don't Look Now and Supermonkey shop! I'm learning a LOT! THANKS!

  73. Nice to be part of the team! That dress is amazing, but you would know that by now. So do you want some more selvedge? I wasn't sure whether to keep sending them.

    ReplyDelete
  74. When I buy fat quarters I usually ask for the bit with the selvedge! I never knew why until now!

    Your stuff is so cool!
    I visited and commented on Two Little Banshees, and Cheeky Beaks.
