Hate to mention the 'cool' word especially when so many folks from NSW and Queensland are absolutely sweltering. Hope you all get a cool change soon.
The binding was sewn onto the baby quilt, it was gifted and will be treasured! My clamshells have their binding too and I love it. A little too scared to put it on the table at the moment for fear of the barbarians spilling something on it. I'm hyperventilating just thinking about it...must keep it safe. lol
Here they are all finished with their pretty bindings..
Even got a new Caswell block finished today....
Unfortunately my camera is not showing the true colours in the fabrics for all three projects but this is as true to colour as I could get. The bright circles aren't that bright in real life.
Now to the next block......happy days!!
Hope you all have a great week
Marina

Both quilts look beautiful Marina. Make sure you keep those barbarians away from those clamshells, they deserve only love and respect and not tomato sauce, red wine and greasy fingers.

ReplyDeleteLovely work with your clam-shells. That is stunning. beautiful work and I agree about your concerns about spilling something on it. Too special for that.
Wasn't the cool of the day wonderful? Glad you got another block under way!
Think you need that beautiful clamshell quilt up on the wall to be seen and admired in all its beauty and away from the barbarians. Love it and the baby quilt and the gorgeous block.
ReplyDeleteHi Marina. I love your clamshell quilt. Is it a pattern from Irene Blanck? I would love to make it.
ReplyDeleteHi Marina, I love your clamshell quilt. Is it an Irene Black pattern? I would love to make it.
ReplyDeleteThankyou, it's not technically a design by Irene but I started it when I did a class with Irene to learn her clamshell technique, I added the rambling vine myself inspired by some applique in her book. There is no written pattern it was a bit let's see how it goes and add a bit of this and that....
ReplyDeleteFeel free to make one the same if you wish
Cheers
Marina, Marina!! As always your work is beautiful but I really love your clamshells, soooooo delicate and pretty, hope you whipped it off the table after took the photo to keep it safe from your resident, (but really very nice) barbarians :)
