Talk about laugher and fun at the North American Relief Sale meetings in Iowa City when we started talking "Green"! What can a selvage do? "You throw them away", was the first response. The crochet hook was moving right along as Marlys's friend had supplied balls of selvages from their quilt borders. The result: Bags and Purses! Each one was different: Bags with fabric handles for over the shoulder to Clutch Handbags. As the ideas and suggestions came, each purse was different. (The crochet hook is still going, too).
We also were reminded of "One selvage can make a difference". Purses were sold for a donation to MCC and selvages have brought in over $100! (That's a third of a child's education with Global Family). Yes, the Global Family Program has a special place in my heart after spending time two years ago in India, meeting the gal I sponsor, Rita, and becoming friends with the fantastic MCC staff in Kulkutta, India!
Blessings,
Marlys
