I stuck the picture I found on google to the front window and proceded to trace onto the appplique paper, then I cut out and ironed onto the chosen fabrics and then ...
Decided to make some small clamshells and start a new project as you do when you should be doing something else!! I think this lot needs some more red clams.
I had a great evening sewing along, thank you to Cheryll for hosting.
Might go and play with the clamshells some more.
Happy stitching.
I am easily sidetracked and find myself working on new things when I should be working on other things! I have never tried clam shells but have admired yours. I like the fabrics you are using with this project.
ReplyDeleteHahaha!!! I know what you mean... Sometimes we just have to start a new project..
ReplyDeleteLovely clams and more reds will look great....
Common feeling! Me too, I start other projects! The clam shells look great and some more red would be nice.
ReplyDeleteYou got a lot done, love those clamshells. I often get sidetracked, too, and then discover that I have lots of projects on the go and don't know where to start again....Have a great weekend, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteYes I do that too Sue! All the time! Your clamshells are looking great!
ReplyDeleteyour latest hero quilt looks interesting....
ReplyDeletewhat's not to love about those clamshells!
LOL you are just like me starting another project when you still have others to do. My theory is that it prevents boredom. The clamshells are looking great so far. Have a lovely long weekend.
ReplyDeleteGosh - you did get mildly side tracked...the clam shells look lovely though.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to offer to help with reads - but there are not many reds of your kind in my stash . . . just not my colour I think!!!
Just a crazy sidetrack! haha.. they look wonderful. One of the girls at our sewing group has been a recipient of an Ausi hero quilt... she brought it to show us... nice to see the end result of one of the gifts...

Clam shells look good Too fiddley for me
ReplyDeleteIam not very patient
You are amazing with the Aussie Hero quilts
I did a few blocks for them It is a start Will get onto some laundry bags one day
Haha there's nothing wrong with getting sidetracked - especially when it's such a lovely new project!! It does look like you made a pretty good start on your next Aussie Hero quilt!
ReplyDeleteLove those clamshells! Needed another project did you Sue???
ReplyDeleteOooops, where have I been.
ReplyDeleteMissed a few posts while you have been out celebrating birthdays, gardening, sewing and starting a new project!!
Love the clamshells and the colours that you have chosen.
There’s nothing like a new project to get you off track. I’m sure you will get back to the other project when you need.
