Just think the selvedges that we just throw away are a gold mine! Just take a look at this chair, would you. I would like to see it when it's done. Here's a blog site that is just for the selvedges and here is a site for quilts made from selvedges. I'm telling you we're missing the boat here.
In looking at the web site on this I realized they had it spelled as SELVAGE. Wait, I thought the correct spellelling was SELVEDGE. Ok, open word and type them both in - no red line!? Can that be? So went to the wizards out on the internet and typed it in. Both spellings are right!!
SELVEDGEis the BRITISH ENGLISH spelling and SELVAGE is the US ENGLISH spelling. Go figure. Please don't let me start collecting this, that's all I need!

Really interesting! The selvedge dress is also really amazing! I'm saving the Ruennaires selvedges - make a table runner or something. Love the chair! Is it yours??
