I really enjoy listening to your show. I love the online quilt museum and I have have been saving my salveges.
Thanks!

[Maeve]

I read Karen's blog just about daily - it is fascinating. Much fun to see all the lovely creations made just using selvages!

[carolyn]

Your interviews are so much fun. I always learn something new and also makes me laugh! I've been wanting to do a selvage project....this book would get me started! Hope I win!

[Nancy J]

Loved the show, have been following Karen's blog for months now. What beautiful selvage creations. Am definitely saving mine from now on!

[Sharon]

Yup, I finally remembered to listen even though I was 15" late. It was a great show. And Pat just back from Hersey!

[Laurie]

I have to start saving selvages now I could kick myself for not saving thems so many awesome things to do now.

[Elizabeth Stracener]

Listened to the podcast today and loved learning about the selvage quilts. I also loved hearing about sewing with friends. I went to my first quilt retreat about 2 years ago and it is the best investment of time and money ever! Thanks for the great shows and the chance to win prizes!

[Debby, Chester NY]

Your podcasts are always done so well. It's amazing that someone would think of making a quilt using selvages. Waste not, want not!
Very cool indeed. I'll have to start saving them.

[Darlene]

Loved the show this week. It was nice company on an 8 hour road trip. I can't wait to explore the new online quilt museum. Thanks for a chance to win!

[Ingrid]

These quilts are so beautiful!! I've been quilting for years and never saw these before!! This was a great show.

[Brenda]

I love both of those women. selvages and scraps--it doesn't get better than that!

[Maeve]

I am fascinated with Karen's use of selvages and love to see the latest project on her blog. I would love to win her book for sure! I have been saving selvages for several months now and I want to do something with them! Also, I met Bonnie at our quilt guild not so long ago when she did a presentation. She is so fun!

[Regina]

I love the look of selvedges and have been saving them, but have not done anything with them yet.

[cynthia andrews]

i enjoyed your show, first time listener!! I ve enjoyed hearing about your cruises, first and foremost i think it is so important to sew with friends and tighten that bond. I belong to a small town quilt club and am so thankful we can help others in the community with our quilt projects. Thank you Pat for your support to all

[Sherry Paylor]

I think the idea of a selvage quilt is so cool. I'll have to start saving mine.

[Shirley]

OK, I'm convinced to start saving those salveges. Love Bonnie. She reminds me once again on why quilting is so much fun!

[Jacque]

Loved listening from SC to your show (ain't it amazin' what you can do with a computer!) Loved hearing Bonnie's talk. It is true not only that friendships are strengthened by our quilting "threads" but also family ties. My sis and I love to video IM and compare quilt blocks and more! It makes us feel like we are not really 3000 miles apart! Thanks for a great listen!

[Catherine G]

Just a note to let you know how much I enjoy listening to your radio show. I set up my laptop in my sewing room and listen and sew...also like to save your guests websites to my favorites tab while I am listening. All your topics are great and informative. Selvages are something I recently started saving. Thanks for the wonderful show.

[Colleen]

Thanks for the broadcast. I am a selvage saver now - it is stacking up fast!
Thanks

[Debbie]

Just finished listening to the show and Karen and Bonnie never disappoint! Thanks for a little blast from the past, Bonnie. That's when I first met Bonnie, online, back almost 15 years ago on Interquilt. Thanks for another great show, Pat!

[Bobbie23nc]

Thanks for the great podcasts. I wish I had all the selvages I have thrown away during my years of sewing. I'm collecting now though.

[Cindy B]

I enjoyed Bonnie's view about friendships in quilting. Some of my most cherished friend memories include quilting together.

Thanks for a great radio show and for the chance to win a great prize.

[Janie, a Marylander]

Hey Pat

Thanks for great podcasts...You and your guests are my motivation as I walk each morning. I won't let myself listen unless I'm movin'!

I've been a long time fan and lurker of Bonnie Hunter. Today I had the pleasure of meeting Karen Griska. Her online quilt museum is chock-a-block full of eye candy.

[Sandy N.]

I have just recently started saving my selvidges to make a quilt out of. I was also wondering how much extra fabric to leave.

[Kitty]

Enjoyed listening to the show. What a great thing Karen in doing with the online quilt museum! Once I get some decent quilts finished (I'm a newbie!) maybe I'll post some photos. Oh and I would love to attend the Sister's quilt show sometime. I've never been to a quilt retreat either--guess I have lots of good things in store for the future!
