What was I thinking?

You know how much I love my little hexies........well I thought I would love little clamshells too. I had some small scraps of Petite Odile so spent some time last weekend dabbling with them. I think it will become a little purse, and then no more little clamshells. I like hexagons better.


I had a lovely afternoon at home yesterday and finished the quilting on my nephews quilt and started the binding. Planning to finish it tonight.

Hope you have a happy weekend.

  3. Oh I fully appreciate your pain with the clamshells. I think I am 75 in and only 600+ to go on my Lancaster quilt. Mind you mine are not that small. I am looking forward to seeing your finished quilt. Enjoy your day. hugs

  10. Cool, I was just wondering how you stitched Clam shells, for some reason I assumed they were EPP. They look good, but then again the hexies look fab!

  13. So tiny and so sweet - and I can see what you mean! Talk about patience! You just needed to do it - it has to do with our endless fascination in creating something on any scale - the tinier the better.
