Curtain Time

The curtains have been attached to Red Kerchief and I've only got a little housekeeping to do before taking it to the framers. Invisible thread was used to attach the pieces of lace. I have never used it before; it's tiny, sort of like using one strand of gray hair-only stronger. True.

Creating the openings in the doors worked out really well. I thought that the horizontal and vertical "bars" of the window frames would be flimsy. Not so. They remained very sturdy and even the last window frame to be stitched was not a problem. I will never be afraid of cutting canvas again.

I see I could have taken a little more care in folding the curtains back but that is something I will take care of once it's framed. Anyway, the photo at left was taken with both canvases still on the Evertites; the foreground canvas situated in place on top of the background canvas. This creates dimension and during the framing process there will be spacers used to keep the canvases apart. Glad I'm not the framer, this seems tricky.

Well it's done and I am happy dancing all over the place. On to the next project. I've been eyeing the pink walnut lately. It's so small and will only take a little bit of my time to get it finished. I have been "playing" with the interior and have discovered my fingers are clumsy working with the slick fabric and small space. Not much I can do about it so I am trying not to get discouraged, but that is the only thing holding me back from completing this pretty piece.

Thanks for stopping by and visiting my blog today. I get so much done knowing you might be by for another visit.
