Stripe Pillows Done

We decided to go with a combination of kaleidoscope design, with gathered welt and button tufting throw pillows for Ruth’s guest room.

We are also made a bolster for the bed, with a gathered center piece.

and lumbar pillow for the chair, incorporating on both the same trim that goes on the shades to tie it all together.

Stripe Style

Ruth asked me to make some pillows for her guest room using two fabrics: a stripe and a floral.  I am also making roman shades with the floral fabric to go with existent duvet, shams and chair.  

Here are some ideas. Let’s see what she picks…

Sleepin’ on a Boat

NEW PROJECT

This week I am transforming standard sized store bought bed linens into custom bed linens for a client’s vacation boat. Perhaps the biggest challenge I have with this project is that beds on a boat couldn’t be any more different than the standard rectangle shaped beds most of us sleep on.

In total I will be making fitted sheets, flat sheets, duvet covers, and mattress pads for three beds for one boat. Two of the beds are roughly twin sized but resemble triangles with curves more closely than any other shape. The third and final bed ensemble is for the master bedroom and can only be described as trapezoidal in shape. Ha! This is going to be real fun and real challenging… but, as usual, I am up for it and look forward to it. Aren’t vacation vehicles fun?!
