In June, Barbara Brackman had photos of a fascinating Clamshell variation on her blog, which she called “Unknown Pattern.” Some quilt blocks have several names. This one is so rare that no names have been documented. Before Inklingo, it was a challenging design to cut and sew.

Clamshells are HOT! Monkey and I couldn’t resist preparing a shape collection for sashing. If you like Clamshells, you will love this.

Quilters often ask me where they can get the fabric for the center medallion of a Jane Austen Quilt. If you are like me, you find everything about Jane Austen endlessly fascinating.

The new Inklingo Clamshell Edges shape collection announced yesterday has inspired Cathi in Toronto! She has already started a new quilt, and she is calling it Clams on the Half Shell.
Monkey and I have a few ideas for you too.

She sews clamshells
by the seashore.
The shells she sews
are surely clamshells.
So if she sews shells,
on the seashore,
I’m sure she sews
Clamshells.
I have never heard Monkey say that. There’s a story here.

Judy in Michigan has a wonderful idea for a Clamshell quilt. She sent me this photo and gave me permission to use it.

Cathi of Quilt Obsession told me about a quilter in Holland who started a Clamshell Club on her blog, Cybele’s Patch. Quilters are making Clamshell quilts with different methods, and reporting their progress at the end of every month.
Monkey has an announcement too.

Melinda left a comment on yesterday’s message:
“Linda, what about some shapes to use for sashing or borders. I like the way this sashing looks in this antique quilt on Barbara Brackman’s blog. I have been wanting to do one for a miniature Dresden that I need to finish.”
She gave the link to a wonderful old quilt (possibly 1820-1860) on Barbara Brackman’s Material Culture blog.

Alison and I have have always wanted lines printed perfectly on fabric, which don’t show when we’re finished. The photos prove it. We had to wait for computers to be invented, and then Inklingo.
If our family’s DNA is ever unraveled, they are going to find a photo gene. My mother, father, aunts, uncles, and grandparents all loved taking photos and organizing them in albums. My Dad even had his own darkroom.
