There were so many people interested in my selvedges that I felt bad about giving them all to one person. I decided to divide them into "large letter" size lots (vacuum-packed in zip-lock bags) and post them out to a few randomly chosen people. Some of you may have received a bundle (if you happen to be a regular customer) and some may have received an email asking for your address.I'm in the middle of a huge (but very, very secret) sew-fest, so the selvedge stash is growing daily. I'll keep drawing out names for letter-size bundles until the stash is gone.
I'm sorry but I haven't had time to do any fancy linky stuff about the winners. Believe me - I really have been drawing names out and I really have been sending parcels out.

What a great idea, I love that you're sharing the selvage love around! I'll keep my fingers crossed and check my letterbox daily. ;-)
Did you see the gorgeous spiderweb quilt on Tallgrass Prairie Studio, which Jodie inspired and contributed selvages to. Here's the link: http://tallgrassprairiestudio.blogspot.com/2010/02/love-says-it-all.html
So much selvage goodness in blogland! :-)
I believe you. Hope your enjoying all the cutting and crafting. Cherrie
i'm sure there'll be lots of blog love from the lucky recipients .. what a great idea.
thank you lovely lady for my parcel, my selvedge crochet project is well on its way:))
How nice of you to share your selvage stash! Have you considered making something with them yourself? It is lots of fun to sew selvages together for a quilt or tons of other things. Take a look at www.selvageblog.blogspot.com for inspiration. Did you know that selvage quilts are washable and very sturdy? If you make something with them, email me and I'll show it on the blog. Besh wishes to you.
Love keeping up with your blog nikki!!! I've been able to make one bag but just don't have the time. Will you be at the CraftExpo??
I have left you some sunshine on my blog :)
I believe you Nikki
Hi Nikki,
Thanks so much for drawing my name out......I eagerly await my selvages to arrive.
cheers Linda
Hope your secret squirrel sewing business is going well Nikki!....and that you get a little bit of time to rest.
What a great idea! Sending fun around the world!
I would LOVE to receive a little parcel of selvedges - I'm collecting to have a go at some projects but just don't seem to be buying enough fabric and believe me, I'm trying!!!!!
Thanks! I'll keep my fingers crossed!
I just read about your giveaway on Karen Griska's blog. I'd love some of your selvages if you still have some to share.
Take a look at my blog to see my latest selvage project- I am re-do-ing a chair in selvages!

If you're still drawing names I'd like to throw myself into the pot. thanks.
That is certainly a nice pile. You really must be on a sewing fest (or at least a cutting fest) to have such a large pile. I hope your top secret mission is successful
I am collecting selvages for a quilt and would love to receive an envelope of them from you. Thanks for your generosity. Have a great day!

I would love to win a bag of your selvages to add to my projects. What a neat way to share the selvage love. JoAnne in Keller, Texas
I am new to your blog, but will check back to see this secret sewing! I love selvages too, am currently working on a project using them.
I would love to get my hands on some of your selvages! I have a quilt in mind for them, but I don't have nearly enuff. Let me know if you want to send some my way!
I've been trying to collect selvages for a project, but it has been slow going. I'd love to be added to your list for a drawing. Thanks!
Can I be added. I've never made anything with selvages, but am so inspired by the Selvage blog to try. I only have a few of my own, not enough for a project yet.
Thanks!
I'd love to be part of your selvage giveaway; I began saving selvages after visiting Karen Griska's blog. Since my fabrics are mostly tone on tones, your selvages look much more interesting than mine. I've offered to cover an old footstool in selvages for my daughter.
I love the name of your blog and will subscribe to your feed. Thanks so much.

I think this selvedge edge craze is pretty cool. I started the valances in my sewing room; got one window done. I'm only using aqua/greens for these so need to 'get' more. Don't know if it's too late to be added to a waiting list? If so, that's fine. I enjoy your blog and the great posts!

Okay, how great to receive scraps from Australia! I will send you the postage - keep me on your list of receivers.
I must visit Australia some day! I continue to keep ordering from everyone and love how the use of color in quilts is so different from the USA. Just my kind of style.

Please enter me to win your selvages. Like many others, I found the link to your blog over at The Selvage blog.
Hi, Nikki -- Anything left?
Love the idea of sharing what you have and no longer need...I just went through all of my fabric and gave it away, so fun to see others get to use what I have had stored away...
I just got introduced to the idea of selvage quilts and have just started cutting my selvages to save, would love to win a giveaway like this...
