One day I'll do something fab with my “Salvage Collection.” When I began saving salvage my quilting friends thought I was off the wall! Now it's the “thing” to do create so many fun things!! I love your ideas, everything you do & share. So much fun! Happy Father's Day to ALL of the Dads & Gramps! The world is a better place with our Dads & families❤️

[@noemir8262]

How you find the time to squeeze this project in to your busy schedule amazes me.❤

[@lessonslearnt5966]

I’m a little behind this week, but that’s okay, it was fun to make and sometimes you just need a diversion.

[@shirleylutterbeck859]

Love this. I am saving my selvages for book titles on my library quilt❤️❤️❤️🎶

[@kwatson5451]

Love to see your creativity at work. Thanks for sharing!

[@pamlacey136]

I love it! So adorable and a fun way to use up some selvages. Thanks for sharing……………….

[@helenmorgan4003]

Just love this idea of using selvedges.

[@ritaleek4588]

Very cute and very enjoyable . Like your style, thanks.

[@pamelalucero5938]

Very cute! Great use of selvages.

[@jannawhitten2473]

Super cute! 💕

[@patricialeshkow6387]

I like the use of salvages

[@janesturm]

I like this very much. A great idea and your demo was easy to follow. That’s why I like to sit in on your videos.

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Glad you like them!

[@SherrieSherman]

Super cute Sheri, I think I now have to pull all my salvages and get one made up for my sewing wall… Tooooo cute

[@carolynkuntz7765]

That makes a very cute wall hanging! I generally don't save my selvages but think I will for a project like this. Thank you!

[@gisellejones1139]

Nice little project

[@robinsquiltbasket]

It turned out so cute!

[@deborahannreid5655]

So pretty!

[@deloresrast8543]

I love this!!!! You are sew creative!!!! Thank you for a great video!!!!

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Thank you so much!

[@peggersf9709]

Sew cute. Makes me wished I would have saved my salvages. That’s one thing that I never have done. May need to rethink 🤔 and save enough for a wall quilt. Thanks for sharing

[@Yodi430]

Super cute! Love it. Nice to do a fun small project in between the bigger ones. 😀

[@lessonslearnt5966]

It really is!

[@Eva-ri1zb]

Sheri, love your wall hanging...

[@brendarainwater6049]

How cute! I love it!!

[@deniseb9171]

Very cute wall hanging for your sewing room!

[@lessonslearnt5966]

I love it!

[@elizabethamis9376]

Looks great! Thanks for sharing. 👍

[@teresamagniez3321]

Loved this - maybe I should save a few of my salvages to make one of these to decorate my sewing room. Thank you.

[@marshawallace7522]

I love this spool wall hanging. Thanks for sharing how you made it.

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Glad you like it!

[@kymburriss4260]

That's really cute 😍 Thanks for sharing

[@peterivkovich2314]

from Gerry- Such a great idea! I have made zipper purses out of selvages so I do have a collection. Be blessed.

[@lindajones7643]

Cute!

[@lucilaflores4912]

Love it!

[@catherinesofikitis179]

I love it!!

[@threadwench250]

I love this idea! I’m thinking about making one of these spools for each quilt I finish. It would let me keep track of the fabric I used for each quilt. If I do that every time, I will have a nice spools quilt in a few years 😂

[@lessonslearnt5966]

That's a great idea!

[@helenmorgan4003]

A great one day project for weekend retreat have one planned for later in the year. Thankyou

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Yes! It would be.

[@bobbiwalkingstick1993]

I cant wait to make one ❤

[@yeseniagomez8864]

Super nice. I might try doing one.

[@marykendall]

That is a super cute project! I saved selvages for a long time. I now realize I have no idea where they are 🤭

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Oh no! I barely made a dent in my box of selvages, but I have more ideas! 🤓

[@jeannemcmillintwinlakeses3767]

Sew Yeah! Great project, maybe you should offer to teach this as an online class for Sew Yeah. I'd certainly take it. Even if you don't I'm going to start cutting off my salvages from yardage before I start my projects. I always think I'm going to then forget so they wind up in the trash.

[@lessonslearnt5966]

I’ve offered to teach one of their classes, but nothing yet. Yes, saving the selvages is something I’ve just gotten in the habit of doing.

[@sherryfaires7931]

Thanks so much! I really like this! I was surprised when you didn’t do the stitch and flip with your selvages. I like your method better! I am working on a quilt, but I am almost finished, so I may have to give this a try!

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Honestly, I did it that way because I started at the top not the bottom. Either way is fine I suppose. Although, I do think it stays flatter the way I did it.

[@vickyadams3007]

I was thinking about making 4 or more of them in the same shades ( reds) an then another color grouping ( greens) for another spool to make a wall hanging for my sewing room. Liked your spool.❤❤

[@jestercreativespace6120]

Love this! Now i have to make one. Need to save salvages though.

[@susanbrown7788]

Thanks!

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Thank you darling 😘💕

[@omisfavorites1054]

Love it! You found the perfect binding fabric for it! I just picked up a book by Diane Knott called Strip Quilt Secrets which has a selvage spools quilt in it. I do like the shape of your spools better than hers, but the quilt is pretty amazing!

[@rsmryquilts]

❤

[@ginettelefebvre8817]

Hi Sheri. I love love your wall hanging... i already have my selvedges sewn on to that white... cant think if word.. sewn in full legths. Was wondering what to do with it. Niw i know. Great idea. Thank you for measurements and great tutorial. Love using our stash. Have a great day. Hugs.

[@lessonslearnt5966]

You’re already half done 👍🏻

[@vickyadams3007]

Sister Chicks Quilting on u tube.Had the spool pattern on her channel sometime this year. Love the idea of using salvages...❤❤❤❤❤

[@catherinesofikitis179]

Hi Blue❤️

[@kathyspannaus6180]

I did come across a pattern the other day. Quilt in a Day

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Maybe that’s where I saw it 🤔

[@janwright5844]

I have seen selvedges used but starting the ‘other’ way - i.e. starting at the bottom and laying the next one on top and going up. Think it may be easier - just a thought 🤔. Love finished result anyway

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Yeah, I thought of that once I’d already started 😄

[@karsheppard8285]

Did you spray baste this?

[@lessonslearnt5966]

I did a little

[@kathyspannaus6180]

It says “Sew Many Notions w Quilt in a Day”

[@flossymelton7658]

This is a great idea and demonstration and it is on my to-do list. However, your fabric choices make it way too busy for me. I can't see a focus. Different tastes. Still an excellent demo.

[@lessonslearnt5966]

I understand…you can totally make it less busy 😉 glad you are going to try it 👍🏻
