Recycled left over curtains.

This is my handmade Monday offering.
An elderly neighbour gave me some full length curtains with the wish that I would find a new home for them.  Well, I did.  I cut the curtains down to make bedroom curtains for No.2 son who was moving home and what was left I put into a quilt and cushion covers for the same bedroom.

  2. Ooh nice. I need to get myself a decent sewing machine and some lessons from my mum so I can make some useful items like this.

  8. Another of those talented quilters I mentioned in today's blog I see. Lovely fresh looking set there. Perhaps I should get to grips with machine quilting? only done hand so far.

  11. Seems to be a theme today. I love that. I wish more people would recycle and reuse instead of tossing things away. Beautiful, both the end product and the idea not to waste. WTG! :)
