I got all fired up this morning …thanks to Sue Daley and her inspirational video on how to make a Clam Shell Quilt!! Every week Sue has a new video and each week I get fired up…it’s like a tonic for quilters!
I need templates…I need glue…I need fabric!! I have all three…I just can’t find them!! Since I knocked down the wall to make my sewing room bigger I can’t find ANYTHING!! I KNOW I have templates SOMEWHERE…I know I have Sew Line Glue…SOMEWHERE…and man do I have fabric!!
Today’s task…track down the Templates…track down the Glue…because times-a-wastin’!! Sure hope they didn’t get tossed out with that wall!!
I hope you’re fired up too…and if you’re not, then go and watch Sue Daley's videos!! There are a series of them…I’m sure there will be something to inspire you too!! But BE WARNED…you will be in the same boat as me…hunting up templates, glue and fabric!! Nah…you are probably more organized!
Let me leave you with a little eye candy (taken from Laundry Basket Quilts…this quilt was at Portland’s Market this Spring! Lovely, isn’t it!)
Makes you want to hurry over to Sue Daley’s…doesn’t it?!
Have a great day!
Good luck, lol. I am still trying to figure out how to make the apple core by machine without making myself nuts.

I have been wanting to make a clamshell quilt forever. Thanks for the great link and good luck finding your essentials.:)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fabulous quilt. Not sure if I have the patience for something like this. I don't have templates, nor do I have glue. But, like you, I definitely have fabric. Hope you find everything you need to start yours.
ReplyDeleteoooooh I'm wanting to try a clam shell quilt in the worst way, I've just not taken the time to do much research on them. I hope you find all the things you need to start this project, I'll be eagerly watching your progress.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great tutorial! Thank you so much for sharing the link. I love these clamshells. I'll have to shop for a template. Hope you find yours soon. Can't wait to see you get started. These are sweet!
ReplyDeleteI've never really cared for that pattern Paullette..but I love this one!!..I think the color and the right quilting.
ReplyDeleteI sat and watcher her clam shell video last night hoping that it would inspire me to finish off the last 600 clam shells on my Lancaster Quilt. I'm not quite as inspired as you :o) Do have fun. hugs
ReplyDeleteThank you for the great link. I've been wanting to make a clamshell but was unsure about how to go about it. That video answered all my questions. Thank you and can't wait to see your clamshell progress.
ReplyDeleteLove your clam shell quilt. I had to laugh when I read your post because I can relate. I hate to clean or rearrange my sewing room because then I can never find anything! Good luck.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the link to the Sue Daley videos. I had never heard of her before but after watching the video, I subscribed and now I want to make a clam shell project really soon!
ReplyDeleteWow, takes a lot of patience for that, I look forward to your progress.
ReplyDeleteI would love to make a clamshell quilt. I got online and bought some paper piecing 2" but cannot find a plastic template. anyone know where I can find one?
ReplyDeleteI have a mini clamshell kit I am going to make one day. Off to see the video. thanks for the link
ReplyDeleteYou've really done it this time, Kaaren!!!
ReplyDeleteI've to make a shopping list
And stock up on some goodies
Then I just might spend a few hours watching Sue's videos
While you've had the Sun Shine and warmth this Summer
I believe we're having the coolest, wettest Summer since we moved here in '86
