Clam Shells And Wool Flowers.
Posted on | February 4, 2020 | 14 Comments
My wool flowers and clam shell piece has made it to the finish line.

It has ended up as quite a big larger that I thought – 48 X 21 inches. It is a Wendy Williams pattern designed as a table runner but I will use mine as a wall hanging. It is from her book called Wild Blooms and Colourful Creatures.

I have used wool felt and cotton fabrics.

Most of the threads are variegated from Sue Spargo.

I kept the quilting simple with meandering between the flowers and straight lines through the borders.

I found a backing in my stash that worked perfectly with the colours.
I am so pleased to have a finish from all the accumulated UFOs from last year. I loved this pattern when it was in the book, but what really inspired me to start this quilt was seeing one made at https://wendysquiltsandmore.blogspot.com/
The different colourway started me on the path to making this one.
Okay, now that a start has been made on the UFO pile, I need to move on to the next one.
Good luck with your UFO piles, too.
Cheers, Karen
