Clamshell Quilt Workshop (including pattern and ruler) with Shirley Dawson
In this workshop, you'll learn to make the beautiful "Glam Clam Quilt" designed by Latifah Saafir. As she says, it is both classic and modern, especially depending on your fabric choices.
In the class, you'll pay particular attention to planning your quilt for fabric layout, using the Clammy ruler for cutting, mastering the curved seams and pressing for the best results.
The class includes the pattern and an 8" clammy ruler (regular value $63.20). If you have your own Clammy, or want to use a different size, let us know. The pattern and ruler have been discounted for students by 20%.
Our sample, made by your teacher uses the 8" clammy ruler.
