Cheap, cheap, drapes, drapes

by

I’ve been talking about putting panels in our office/craft room since December. I finally did it. And, I think I love it. And, did I mention all four panels and the rods cost under $25? Not bad, huh? All curtains are made from one large drop cloth. I’m just one of many who have discovered […]

Funky quilted table runner

by

I finished quilting and binding the table runner previewed here. In the end, I like it. It’s been a while since I’ve quilted, so this was probably a good way to ease back into it. I had some trouble with the binding, but it looks bright and cheery in the end. What’s your current project?
