Check out the roman blinds on this site! I made one for our bedroom. A good way to combine piecing with window coverings! -- Susan in Kingston ON back to quilting, as usual http://community.webshots.com/user/sbtinkingston "John" wrote in message ps.com... 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 |

Howdy!
I've made curtains so often, just the simple kind, a hem in the bottom, a hem in the top w/ a little hem above that. For our front room I got extra yardage of quilting fabrics, fell in love w/ the colors & prints, and did the simple "window treatments". http://tinyurl.com/37jhmu Before that I had hemmed some cutwork tablecloths (also on sale, as was the quilt fabric) and hung those for curtains (had several friends ask "where'd you get the custom drapes?!" g). I'm tired of the curtains in our bedroom so I've found some more tablecloths to hem & hang. As soon as I paint a lighter shade of yellow on the walls, those new "curtains" will be installed. ;-) I don't sew much on the machine, but I can hem w/ the best of 'em! W/ the curtains partly open &/or furniture in front of them, it doesn't even matter if the hemming is very-very straight. LOL R/Sandy-- curtains-shmertans: I need more time for quilting (curtains on the north & east sides of this house don't need thick lining; windows on the west *hot* side of the house are shaded by shrubbery) On 8/31/07 7:05 AM, in article , "Roberta Zollner" wrote: I'm with you, Elly.

Beautifully made if I say so myself ..But I got fed up of them after a short time so what was the point in all that work! Same pointlessness in buying expensive curtains. Or getting them made. My current living room curtains are cheepos from Ikea which came with a fusible web for adjusting! They look just fine and when I get sick of them... I can just buy some more with out feeling guilty!

OMGoodness, Sandy! I *love* the quilt on the chair with all those luscious
shades of coffee ( or would that be chocolate ; ) ). Great idea to make your window treatments out of different fabrics. - dlm. in central MA 'who has been given inspiration to complete her "Double Shot of Espresso, Please" quilt ' "Sandy Ellison" wrote in message Howdy!
