Rhode Island Home Gets Windows' MakeOver

I am finally getting some photos posted from a great customer in Rhode Island! Debbie and I have spoken on the phone so many times that we know each others' voices immediately. The same style was carried throughout her home - dining room, living room, bedrooms, and kitchen- with privacy panels for a kitchen door. We also dressed the bathroom with a new shower curtain and ruffled tank/commode set, but the photos were too blurry to do them justice. Here are a few pics of Debbie's home:




The Living Room window goes bold with the H590 Black/tea dye Buffalo check.

Kitchen curtains carry the black color scheme with H53 Black/Tea Dye Minicheck


A bit blurry, but this photo shows the reversible round doilies we made to match the curtains. They fit just right in Debbie's shelf displaying old tins.


The dining room curtains were made in H70S - Black/Mustard Reverse Window pane.


Thanks, Debbie, for the tour of your lovely prim home!

A Future Seamstress?


The other day my 3-year old granddaughter, Natalie, visited my workshop. She was fascinated by my sewing machines and the silver "wheels" (bobbins). This is her first sewing lesson - telling the machine to "GO-O-O-O-O-O-O-O!!!!!!" while Grandma secretly pushed the foot pedal. I hope Nattie is still this interested when she's thirteen.

What happened to Spring?

What fun it is to live in northeast Ohio! The Crocuses are blooming, my Hostas are poking up through the ground, the trees are budding, the grass needs its first cut. . . . and we have a Spring snowstorm! I'll get the heavy coat out again (hopefully for the last time) and scrape the snow off the car, so I can shop for my grandkiddos' Easter baskets.

I wanted to share some pictures we received from a couple of our customers. Take a look.


This customer used the "Ginny" version of the Virginia House Swag Curtains to top her shuttered windows. She knows how to dress up a window!


I love how Lori used different styles and coordinating fabrics. She asked for some customizations such as the long sash on the Hourglass panels and longer straps for the extra-wide Button-up panel.



The white shutters and register cover really complement the dark woodwork, which so nicely frames the Virginia House Swag curtain.


Last but not least, here are the new Rod Pocket Panels and valance inserts I made for my living room.
