Valances done in....






I went with the Toile. I love the English countryside or maybe a little France. Tour around my kitchen and you will find roosters
, ironstone and many English transfer ware dishes. I have one plate that I love right in the middle of my hutch. Can you see it there. The red and white one. So that's where I took my inspiration from and decided to sew with the Toile fabric.
These sewed up quite fast once I measured my windows.
I also lined these valances with muslin. Muslin is another fabric that I like to have lots of.
With the leftover fabric I made a table runner. Yes you guessed it I lined it as well with the muslin.
Tulips in yellow really make everything pop with colour.
I have decided with the check fabric to make new cushion covers for the chairs.

Since it's National Puppy Day, here is Fergus and Max wishing all you puppys out there Have a Super Dog Day.

until next time, enjoy your day,

Linda

    Hi I really enjoyed reading your post today. I am so glad you like English countryside and France.....do you think it's because I am English and now live in France so entirely agree with you! Toile is my all time favourite fabric but it is soooo expensive here unless I can find some in the sales!

    Hi there! I just found you because my google reader recommended that I come take a gander. I am now a follower because I ADORE toile! Your kitchen looks terrific, and Fergus and Max should hang out with Beezie and Charlie. :)

    I love any kind of toile fabric...red being one of my favorites. Great curtains and the quilt and pillow from your previous post are gorgeous...Fandango is a favorite also! (can you tell that I am catching up on post reading?)
