Sewing Circle....

Today I am channeling my inner Clare....


of Selfsewn..... 

I need her guidance....I know she could calm my jittery nerves...she has Paper Pieced curves....
she transformed my flowering snowball into a paper pieced wonder!!!!

It is challenging....a clamshell challenge

        
Here is a little peek....


Back to my trance...channeling my spiritual guide ;)

You will be kicking out clam shells like a machine in no time I'm sure. Beautiful and on my "to try" list.

Another new project - I shall think of you piecing while I am quilting clamshells!

Fabulous!

Oh Cllllaaaarrreeee where are you? They look perfect to me! Pretty retro fabrics and yes I love that dish too!!

Deborah said...

I would love to try her rose stars! Maybe clamshells after that! I'm looking forward to seeing yours!

I love the clamshells...we glue the top curve and don't turn under the bottom curves as they will be covered by the clams below...saves even more time!

Marit said...

Ooh channel away!!
That green floral fabric, was my Grandmothers. She was a dressmaker, mainly of bridesmaid dresses, when she passed my Mum gave me this fabric from her stash, there is literally 100s of metres of it.

I found a sticker on it saying 'alternative material'.
I like to think it could have been for bridesmaid dresses...can you imagine! I think that why it's so light in weight.

Looking forward to more of this Mary!!

ps. I love the fact that we are working with the same fabrics, isnt the purple one an odd texture!
