I knew I'd have a little more sewing time today. So I am starting (and possibly finishing) my Christmas shower curtain.
Recently I was shocked to find out that my husband LOVES Christmas decorations at our house. He even said something like, "I'd leave them up all year if I could."
I made us a Christmas bed quilt this year (just finished recently) that has its own story (click the underlined words to read all the posts about the quilt). That led to buying inexpensive but perfect red valances to match the quilt. Few know that our shower has a quilt for a curtain! I patterned it after one I saw in a magazine years ago. I made it when we moved in here 6-1/2 years ago. Here it is...
My current bedroom and bathroom valances are made from the fall print that is the large alternate block.
Here is a peek at what I'm doing for a new curtain:
I needed about 70" of the focus fabric (which is not pictured). It was still on a bolt foundation on my shelf. I didn't know how much was there...it didn't look like much! 72"!!! Just enough!!
Stay tuned...I plan to sew, sew, sew on this puppy today.
