I have finished the sewing on the clamshells...yay!!! Now it is ready to get a backing sorted.
I had found several places where I must have snipped the applique thread on the clamshells while I was removing the gathering thread, hopefully they are all repaired now.
I made the teeny tiny hexies for the centre of Doing the Rounds, now I need to figure out how to get the card out of the fabric!
I have two of the shapes appliqued down so far
another heap of circles have been prepared ready to applique.
I have also done lots of washing today, is the perfect drying day, warm sunny and breezy, also cut the deadheads off the agapanthus plants...all in all a good day.
Happy sewing.
The clamshells look great and I love those tiny hexagons! All those circles and housework too! Wow!

ReplyDeleteHave you got a number of circle blocks you are going to do? You've got a goodly sum of them already.. Dust will still be there anytime.... it's good at waiting patiently

ReplyDeleteWoo hoo! Love your beautiful Clamshell Quilt! What an achievement......you are spurring me on. Doing the rounds is so lovely....like your work very much!
ReplyDeleteOkay smartie pants, how did you manage to baste those little hexies? Every time I get my little ones out I can't work out how to wrap the fabric around such a small area. They look lovely! It is coming together nicely.
ReplyDeleteI hope walking was on the list ....
ReplyDeleteLost my first comment..... Glad the clam shells is stitched down...... Just slips something between the paper and the fabric.....
ReplyDeleteOh, those ARE tiny hexagons! Beautiful designs you are doing.
