The clamshell is a classic quilt shape. Glam Clam takes this classic quilt shape and updates the size and piecing techniques to make it modern and fun to put together!
This pattern is a rewrite of the ever popular Glam Clam Pattern. You asked for an acrylic template – and you got them – The Clammy’s in 6″, 8″, 10" and 12″ sizes. This pattern includes six size layouts for all three clamshell sizes.
It includes all the cutting instructions for all the shapes needed to make the Glam Clam quilt. Also included are coloring pages and row labels.
It’s a fun pattern that is easier to put together than you think!

Trunk Full of Quilts!
Stitches For Kids have been at it again. They delivered 38 quilts to Olive Crest at the end of January. Great job, ladies!
And there was more by Stitches For Kids!
Linda Jones delivered these quilts to Olive Crest on behalf of the Friendship Group, Stitches For Kids. A big thank you to all the ladies in that group -- Stella, Suzanne, Nora, Beth, Eleda, Ruth, Linda and of course their leader Pat Page. What a wonderful job you are doing!
Surgical Caps Project
Marcia Ulrich has delivered over 700 surgical caps to Linda Evans of Desert Regional/JFK Hospitals for use by their staff. What a wonderful effort from many of our members. The work is continuing and you can pick up kits to sew into surgical caps or drop off finished caps on Thursdays between 10am and 11am outside Monica’s Quilt and Bead Creations. Don't forget to wear your masks. Any questions, just contact Marcia Ulrich at philanthropy1@cvquiltguild.org
