I have wonderful pleated blinds on my living room windows, but decided we also needed draperies. Sarah's husband, Brett, welded the longest curtain rods ever - it spans both side-by-side windows.
I sewed panels of fabulous taffeta-like fabric. Pat and I found it at a fabric store in her neighborhood.
I pressed the hems and they stayed put without pinning. All I had to do was press and sew!
The first panel is up - it's the one that covers the space between the two windows.
All three panels are finished on the set of windows that look out on Ute Mountain. The panels are attached to the rods by ribbon. Seven tabs of ribbon are sewn to the top of each panel. I bought all the ribbon our Walmart had and drove to Durango to get another spool of ribbon. Unfortunately, I still need three more spools of ribbon to finish the last set of drapes. Perhaps I'll find some in Grand Junction this week. I don't like unfinished projects! But I LOVE the looks of these drapes!

They are lovely, send me the details and I'll see if I can find some of the ribbon up here in Montana!
Beautiful home, beautiful drapes, and I LOVE the Beauty and the Beast type clock.
