These embroidery pieces were taken from a frilly frilly piece of fabric that I cut & appliqued to a linen ground–machine stitched with threads of green pink and blue. 16×16 feather and down insert.
A memorial banner; I don’t know anything about it, a random find–I made into a 16 x 16 pillow insert into linen with a linen back.

| Partial view of the roman shade–I’m not sure why I didn’t take a full view shot. |
One of the 3 Roman Shades that I’ve done for my bedroom. They are unlined white black out fabric that have been pieced randomly to create ripples and a light design of stitch holes–I’m debating my love for them, but in the morning it’s pleasant to look at the stitching. I’ll like them more with curtains installed and then they won’t be so bleak.

Lately, I’ve been focused on my bedroom and have spent all my free time doing it up. A French vintage linen sheet for a slip cover on the headboard and I’ve kept the Euro-shams from the Rose Cumming Indienne Toile. I had an inspired moment and made a dust skirt out of the plaid Hmong hemp– they were for pillows to sell– it is the exact amount to go all the way around so what can you do? I’ve also kept the indigo German linen panel from several months ago- the color helps to make sense of the fucked up 1890’s Caucasian rug fragment. One Roman shade is installed (two more to finish) and the curtains are to be a deep purpley-red washed linen. I also found a very simple Victorian English chest of drawers that would be perfect but I have built in drawers so I don’t need it (I remind myself) and my money is to go to buy textiles on my Christmas trip to Hong Kong and Beijing–yay. More pics tomorrow.
