Seven down, four to go. Or: Roman Shades Finished!

They took a lot of hand stitching, and a lot of movie watching, but I have completed the Roman Shades!

Completed shades!

I purchased the material for these shades in 2008. I started on this project by practicing for the front room by making shades for Matt's room. Those were completed in January of this year. I was then ready to begin these shades.

My friend Heidi had extra backing generously donated it to me for this project. That not only helped, it saved me about $35.00. A big thanks to her.

It feels good to have these shades done. Next project? Purchasing curtains for the French Doors in this room and sewing a border onto them using the leftover material from these shades.
