Finally Done and Finished

For the last 2 weeks, I've worked on nothing but these drapes for a client.

I hung them this morning (with some help) and they turned out beautifully. I fought against adding the fringe (totally not my thing), but I have to say that it works in this case.

The pictures don't do them justice. The fabric is from Calico Corners (pattern name is "Fantasy Garden) and was $20 a yard. It took 20 yards for the drapes and the valance. The drapes are 95" long and the valance is 120" wide. Too big to fit in my car. I sawed the wood in half and then had to put it back together once I got to her house. That alone added an hour and a half to the whole installation process. In total, it took 3 hours to put up the valance and the rod.

So glad they are finished and everybody is happy. Now I'm working on my vintage wool plaid cape tomorrow before I start some cushions for a lady.
