CLAMSHELL CLUB

I’m afraid I haven’t got very far with this but then I started into late… yes I know excuses excuses, LOL…

Anyway, I have been doing a lot of thinking about this project and also a lot of un-sewing!!  I got a block almost made when I changed my mind… well first I went wrong with the layout and had to frog stitch only to then be almost finished and decide I didn’t like it. >G<    I had no idea where this was going to take me and I’ve pretty much still have no idea.. well a flickering of an idea is brewing.  Fingers crossed. 

Enough procrastinating, you don’t want to hear me rabbiting on.  Here is a picture of the just completed this evening block… the only block so far… So some sort of progress ;)

Clamshell Club 2

I’ve added a couple of stronger fabrics into the mix as the all pastel just wasn’t doing it for me.

As you can see in the corner I have a few more to sew….  Hopefully, I’ll have a bit more to show next month ;)

Happy Stitching, Ellyx

  5. I don´t know what the problem is, to me the colours look good. The block looks very hard to do, in fact I have no idea how these are done.
