Re: boys room

Hi Esther,

Really nice - I love the fabrics too- is it Ships by Prestigious or the similar one from LA?

What did you put inside the quilt?

Sue.

Re: boys room

hi thanks, sue the small blanket got interlinning in the middle with a interlocking stitch to keep it in place with herringbone stitch around the edges and a red piping to finish it off the fabric is all prestigious ships, tiddlers and navy stripe thanks for everybodys lovely comments esther the thing i dont seem to get right is i always seem to get half a pattern top and hem of curtains is this avoidable i read the books but dont seem to avoid it happening thanks again esther

Re: boys room

Hi Esther,

I usually make sure I have a whole pattern on the bottom of curtains. The opposite on Roman Blinds.

Where different length/height curtains are hanging in the same room, I make the most prominent pair with the best pattern placement, and make the others line up horizontally with those.

Re: boys room

Hey congratulations Esther...was wondering where you'd disppeared to. 2yrs old is a demanding age but it does gets easier. I didn't go near a sewing machine from when I had my children till the youngest turned 3 and went off to pre-school occasionally! Just enjoy your time with him while he's little, they grow up SO fast.
