No quilting for awhile.
As some of you may know, We had 22 windows installed in the house and,
she who must be obeyed has,"suggested", that now would be a good time to make new curtains for most of the house. Lined curtains, that is. Sooo, No more quilting till that is finished. I will be still sewing on the straight and narrow, but in a slightly different medium. Or as I said to her; "Looks like it's curtains for me". Ok, I couldn't help myself with that one. John |

Well of course you can still quilt. The curtains in our master bathroom are
quilted. There are 3 'grandmother's flower garden' flowers with a stem and a few leaves appliquéd on them. Just enough hexagoning to convince me that I would not like to do an entire bed quilt. I'm not sure what time period that magnificent stove is but you could get quite appropriately quilty on the kitchen window with something smashing. (Bad word for someone with new windows, I guess.)

But couldn't you still do patchworked ones? That would definitely give you the option of working on 22 new patterns and designs and then the room could be 'named' for the window treatment. If you wanted to keep a sameness to the windows - be a devil and use only one lining fabric. jennellh On Aug 30, 4:54 pm, John wrote: As some of you may know, We had 22 windows installed in the house and, she who must be obeyed has,"suggested", that now would be a good time to make new curtains for most of the house.

Polly Humm, Let me think about that. The stove is actually a new stove that is made by the same company that makes wood/coal burning kitchen ranges and they use the same castings for the new ones as they do for the old style, and they fill it with modern guts like self cleaning oven and electric or gas power or even electric and gas combo's. It is great looking and it actually works like a "regular" stove. And yes, delete smashing refrences, from any thing to do with windows. John |

That would be a step too far for me, John. Good luck!

I've done them in the far-distant past and hope never to have to do them again; they're a royal pain, IMHO. -- Sandy in Henderson, near Las Vegas sfoster 1 (at) earthlink (dot) net (remove/change the obvious) http://www.sandymike.net |

Knowing you, and how quickly you seem to whip through your projects,
you'll be posting next Tuesday. It will be a photo, of 22 fabulous sets of curtains, hand woven , perfectly dyed to match every room, and hung with drapery hooks or curtain rods that you forged out of wagon wheels from a vintage covered wagon. And the hand woven fabric came from sheep that are grazing in your back yard, and you won the sheep sheering contest while gathering your supplies..... or something to that effect. Good luck...... we'll see ya next week :-) Patti in Seattle |

It is beautiful basting though - so beautiful I no longer notice it. Fortunately most of the curtains were the correct length. -- Sally at the Seaside~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~uk http://community.webshots.com/user/sallyswin |

I enjoy doing curtains myself. The blackout fabric really makes a
big difference here in the desert. I have done some pretty neat roman shades that were fun to make and use. Fabricguru.com is my favorite for curtain fabric. They ship cheap and fast. Looking is fun and prices are great so buying is more fun. NAYY.
