Nothing themed here. I'm not a "theme-y" kind of decorator. A Christmas tree, stockings and some lights are the only kind of "holiday" decor that ever goes up in my house. I have 6 quilts definitely planned for the next year, 1 more that I may or may not be doing as a commissioned quilt, and tentative plans for another, but nothing solid. I do plan to make stockings for my family in 2011, though.

I'll answer that..so you'll do it all wrong and get mad at yourself. So what? Then you'll take it apart, look at it and then put it together correctly and be proud of yourself. It may take more than one time, but WE LEARN FROM OUR MISTAKES. Keep reminding yourself about that, we learn and then go on.
Share with us when you do get them made, I know they will be in good taste and nicely finished.

Well, a friend of my daughter's has asked me to make a couple of small quilts for her two boys out of their old and outgrown baby clothes. Do you know how hard it is to cut up baby clothes? I keep looking at some of the small jeans and pants and thinking, Oh, what a shame. Some other little girl or boy could be getting good use out of these. But they are not mine to give away so I guess I will be cutting them up. I will probably just make a crazy quilt with them. I hope she likes it.

You will do fine with the roman shades. They are really quite simple. Just take one step at the time. Enjoy the process, you will definitely enjoy the results. Just measure carefully and cut accurately. Good luck and post pics when you finish them.
