It’s the beginning of week three!!!!! Can you believe it? How is everyone doing this week? Did you get to work on your Glam Clam? I’m seriously super happy seeing all of your progress over the first two weeks of the Glam Clam Finish Along! Well done. Wherever you are is perfect. Just. Keep. Sewing!
Plan Your Week
Week three means it’s time to sew your second set of rows. If your top is finished maybe you’ll plan to baste and start quilting. Take a minute to figure out what you will get done on your Glam Clam this week and then schedule it into your week!
Sponsors
I’ve been working on finding cool prizes for all of you and I’m super excited to announce our wonderful sponsors. I’ll tell more about each of them and the prizes that they’ve sponsored over the next week! Keep on stitching – you only need a finished quilt top to be in the running to win. (Some restrictions apply. Full rules will be announced with prizes.)
IG Live
Wednesday, April 28th I’m going to do another Instagram Live! Woot!. This week we’ll talk about using pinless piecing for sewing fabrics that don’t stretch much including African Wax prints, batiks and some vintage fabrics. This technique also applies to sewing smaller clamshells like the ones cut from the 6” Clammy! Also, I’ll answer the question – can you make a clamshell quilt from just clamshells. Join me! I’ll hop on around 11AM Pacific on the @latifahsaafirstudios Instagram page. And I think I figured out how to save it this time too!
