The months seem to be flying by or is that just me! Last night we bloggers all stitched together for August's
My efforts were a bit erratic as I got seduced by my other passion....my pencils which you can read about
HERE I seem to lose track of time lol!
So I was a little late getting myself organised to start. I wanted to keep my momentum going with my Yoko Saito blocks so I prepared two more blocks.
Templates made....
Some tracing...
And fabric choices for applique made. So already to go again. I didn't feel like starting working on these blocks just then.....so...
I then finished off the evening basting a couple of clamshells
and joining them into the next row and pinning them in place ready to sew.
Even though I was a bit all over the shop I really enjoyed my day and evening and what I got done.
Big thanks to
WENDY at Sugarlane Quilts for hosting us and bringing us all together.
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx
Preparation is just as important as the actual sewing - especially for those blocks. And the clamshells are a great "go to" project.
ReplyDeleteIt is good to sometimes jump around from project to project especially when they sre at different stages of progress. I love Yoko's designs and yours is going to look stunning. Love your clam shells.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to have different things to work on.
ReplyDeleteGreat job getting the next blocks ready to stitch and it's always nice to do some more clamshells.
You and me both, Michelle......not much to show for my week at all!
