The Quilt Show Puzzle: You Won't "Clam" Up Here
|
 |
|
|
"Happy As A Clam" by Rachaeldaisy
Happy As A Clam is one
of Rachaeldaisy's many denim quilts. When making one of these denim quilts, Rachaeldaisy usually has traditional shapes in mind, in this case, the clamshell. Each clamshell features a different motif with its own story behind it. She says, "Clamshells are always fun as they are, but when they are embellished with whimsical motifs, cute pictures, friendly fabrics and all sorts of sweet bits and pieces surely they help create the happiest clamshell quilt in the universe."
