I have had such fun playing with these fabrics. Apparently my tastes have changed because I am really enjoying these reproduction fabrics.
And here is my clamshelll quilt all finished. I love it so much.
Obviously I did not take it out of the dryer quickly enough. It looks a bit wrinkled, but it is still so soft and comforting. The quilt was made using the Go! clamshell die, and I have to say, it could not have been easier. Everything went together so easily. It really does help when the pieces are uniform. And the notches help in getting them together correctly!
I have an unexpected little morning glory out in Ruthie's garden. What a happy surprise! Another surprise was the yellow toadstool I found growing in one of the pots on the patio today. What a bright yellow! At the upper right you will notice that the turnip green seeds I planted right before the rains began to fall have already sprung up and started growing! Now if I can just keep the chickens out of there!
My darling Buddy had a trip to the vet yesterday. He had a little fatty tumor on his leg. Unfortunately the doctor did not like the way it looked when he removed it. We are waiting for results from the biopsy. He has had such a hard time and is the sweetest big old baby in the world. I am believing there will be no bad news.
I hope all is well in your part of the world, and that you have lots of happy things going on!
Hugs and kisses,
Elaine

Greetings Elaine, The clamshell quilt looks great. I love all the texture from the quilting that shows.
I hope your turnip greens do well this year. Do you grow them just for the greens or do you pull up turnips later and use them too? - I have never grown turnips.
I hope all is well with Buddy.
Your clam shell quilt looks wonderful. It reminds me of lots of suns coming up all together.
Best wishes for Buddy. Hope all goes well there.
I have that clamshell die too and have only made a sample of about 5 sewn together. I guess I need to get it out and play with it.
Hope the news for Buddy is good. How lovely is your bright and cheerful clamshell quilt! Such pretty plants and flowers. Just want you to know that the little plumeria has now grown several leaves and is so vibrant green. I think it may be happy here. Have a good weekend
Your clamshell quilt is awesome. I love the colors and pattern. I hope the news for Buddy is good. Your plants are lovely.
