A little customized thank you from Anya ~ one of our summer winners! I love a surprise in the mailbox.
You've Got Mail.










Have you embraced the selvage movement?

Because her postcard was such a perfect fit for all of the 5" selvages that we have....





I begged for a tutorial. Anya already had plans to do one. It's there.



So, after our big giveaway last week, we need to recover.
Selvages = the perfect freebie.
Plus let's have more than 1 winner. Let's have 11.

Today's giveaway is however many selvages I put in an envelope.



Leave a comment about what you'd like to find in your mailbox.

Random drawing later tonight.

    I like my mail box gets full, it doesn't happen often, too bad for me, lol. I'm always waiting for letters, that way I'm trying to understand the people I'm writing to, but since the fact I love to quilt, I'm getting crazy if I find any quilt stuff there, even a quilting ad, lol. I know I got the quilting bug, and it isnt going to dissapear soon!

    A letter from my deployed husband, or a package of exotic find to show the kids about the new country or place he is seeing. That has got to be the cutest postcard ever in the world!

    I always love to find an unexpected check in the mailbox. I also love a free sample of something I have been wanting to try. (the second is slightly more common, but I don't get a lot of either)
    Prize winnings are always a happy maker at my mailbox!

    I want to get the next episodes of Gilmore Girls from Netflix today. I hope it comes. Anyways, I recently saw a selvedge quilt in a quilt store and went "duh, that's how they get the dots on there!" So I really want to try it.

    Aren't Anya's selvage postcards the best? I love to find selvages in my mailbox, but honestly I'm happy to find anything but BILLS!

  13. Jessica ChristensenSeptember 10, 2009 at 5:50 AM

    Well, there are lots of things I'd like to find in my mailbox, not least of which is a check for millions of dollars. In the absence of that, I suppose I could be extremely happy with fabric, crafting supplies, cards from friends and family, a quilting magazine, or a quilt. Sensing a theme?

  14. Karen from Sew Many Ways...September 10, 2009 at 5:58 AM

    I just love when the latest quilt magazine comes in the mail. We pick names for Christmas and my SIL asked my husband what I would want. He suggested a quilt magazine. Love him!!! It's like getting a present every month.
    Thanks for the chance,

    I love to get packages that I'm expecting, cards and letters from friends and family (don't get much of that anymore thanks to email). I would love to find a big check one day that would allow me to be a stay at home mom! But, on a more realistic note, an envelope of selvage would be a nice surprise!

    It’s sad to admit, but I am a catalog nut. I love to get new catalogs in my mailbox. My favorites are home furnishing ones. I pour over them dreaming up new things to do with our house… too bad it’s usually always a dream as our house is bunker proof for three kids four and under!

    I would love to find a letter to me from my grandma in my mailbox, she's been gone for a few years now, and I miss her terribly. I think it would be like finding money in last years winter coat. You didn't miss it cuz you didn't know it was there but once you find it, you're so happy! I also love finding packages from Quilt Taffy in there. hehe. And Christmas cards. All fun stuff.

    I was going to do a selvage edge project at my retreat next month... now I know the project has to be "postcards"! Thanks!

  54. AngieSeptember 10, 2009 at 1:10 PM

    What would I like to find in my mailbox??? I love getting mail but the neatest thing that I can think of right now would be a letter from an old friend that I have been trying to find. Her name is Andrea. We went to school together in the 3rd grade and wrote back and forth. Well, years passed and we continued to write and then both of us stopped writing and I haven't heard from her in years. So, that would be really neat to me if I could somehow find her or her find me and get a letter from her. :0)

    Other than that I LOVE mail. I am new to quilting and have really been enjoying learning how to do that. I joined the Block of the month club at a local quilt shop here in town......long story but they had to discontinue it so I am trying to continue doing quilting on my own.

    Thanks for the chance in the drawing. How neat. I'm glad that I found your site!!

    I've always thought it would be fun to be one of those people that buys things and then forgets and when they come in the mail it is a big surprise. Too bad when I buy things I anticipate them coming so they are never a surprise. So I guess what I am trying to say is that I would love a surprise package in the mail!
