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.
It is lovely Carol - your quilts are really beautiful

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.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant recycling... bet your son is chuffed to bits, I know I would be.
ReplyDeleteThey are lovely I'm sure your son is really pleased with the result.
ReplyDeleteWow - excellent use of a pair of curtains! Very impressive - they look gorgeous x
ReplyDeleteVery good idea and happy to see the old curtain become new and go to good home,
ReplyDeleteLove this set Carol
ReplyDeleteFab bit of upcycling :)
ReplyDeleteGreat way to give a new lease of life to an old pair of curtains.
ReplyDeleteAnother 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.

Great recyling!
ReplyDeleteLove to see things being recycled! And nicely done too!
ReplyDeleteA great way to bring new life to something not needed any more. Your son is really lucky to have you.

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! :)
ReplyDeleteLovely, very elegant colours...
