I made these curtains last week, when I was sick....or should I say sicker than I currently am.Not all the way better yet..but feeling pretty normal, if there is such a thing.
I really couldn't do much last week, having such a horrible cough. So once again, I MADE myself stay still for a while...or almost still. I pulled out this fabric, which I adore, (it was my mom's) and made some curtains for my kitchen. The base color of the fabric is a pale, pale yellow. I never really liked yellow too much, but now it reminds me of my mom..she loved yellow..I find myself drawn to the softest shades of it lately. In fact I think I will be painting my kitchen that color. I have gone back and forth between what color to do it, but the curtains sort of decided for me.
I plan on making more curtains with mom's material. She hand picked it, and that makes it special for me. I know she had plans for a lot of it. There are bags with pieces carefully cut and folded, I assume they were going to be for quilts, though I will never know for sure.
There is a whole room of my mom's fabric and sewing supplies. She sewed absolutely beautifully. I will never be able to sew like her. I am blessed to have a gorgeous quilt on my bed, handmade by her...along with pillows, table runners and a few other items. I cherish them now more than ever.
