The photo to the left shows the room before I was finished.
The room really seemed to become more warm and cozy, once I added the
window treatments, the pictures on the walls (Renoir 'paintings'), and
a quilt rack with a quilt.
I chose Mission-Style furniture for the bedroom, which I
designed and built
by myself.
I also made the bedding.
I made sheets with piped edges, pillows with seperate pillow cases, and a
blanket with satin binding.
I embroidered the "Lone Star" quilt
for the bed. I even wove a rug for the floor.
The quilt rack is a gift from my Canadian friend, Eleanor. I made the
quilt on the quilt rack by using the computer to draw a design. I printed
the front of the quilt on muslin, then quilted it by hand-stitching the
front to the back. (Check out Wilma's instructions for
printing on fabric. The method that I used is described very well
by Wilma.)
