Windows to Success

I'm sorting through my shade samples today, preparing for Windows to Success presentation with Rosemarie Garner- and if you haven't registered yet for this event, I hope you'll do so this week before it sells out!  Rose and I will be addressing a multitude of shade challenges and solutions, from arched windows to tricky patterns.  I'll be back to blogging just as soon as I can catch my breath from a long series of projects interspersed with preparing for this big educational event.  Stay tuned!

Oversize Ripplefold

Oversize seems to be a "thing" in our workroom lately.  We made 34' of ripplefold in December for Nicole Gray of Suite Dream, and now the room is complete, with sleek, modern cornices in place.

WITH CORNICES

Please note, Leatherwood Design Co DID NOT make the cornices, but I can't resist showing how they finish the treatment.

BEFORE CORNICES

On Wednesday another large ripplefold project will be installed: 173" long and 13' wide on a motorized rod.    Wielding needle and thread, Jen and I succeeded in taming 70 yards of fabric.  I'll be posting about the fabrication process and how we managed this large product. 

 Back in October, we had our first truly long panel project- 168" panels ranging from 1 width each to 3 widths. We're certainly getting comfortable with oversize :)

 Can't wait for the next!
