Quiltilated Window Shade
*
WELCOME!
If you’re here you may have already heard about the Quiltilated
Window Shade and how easily one can create something beautiful and
practical at the same time. Friends and family will adore this unique
shade as it will add beauty and charm to your home. Furthermore, its
insulated design will help to fight off winter's chill and summer’s
heat.
In the early 1980s I made this shade as part of my work, but recently
I realized with its artistic and pragmatic use anyone should be able
to make this shade. Therefore, I wrote the “BASIC WINDOW SHADE
INSTRUCTIONS,” for the Quiltilated Window Shade. You are only
moments away from crafting your very own Quiltilated Window Shade –
just click the button on the right and purchase my detailed
instructions for only $15.00.
My business partner and I developed the Quiltilated Window Shade in
the early 1980s while sewing for Interior Designers. Eventually I
closed my work room and headed in a different direction with my
career. That was 30 years ago. Three years ago I retired from working
in education and fell in love, once again, with quilting. Several
months ago I decided to bring the Quiltilated Window Shade back to
life. My shade is different from other window shades as I take it a
step further by adding beautiful machine quilting to each and every
shade.
I am now an avid piecing quilter who is also a long arm quilter.
Through my quilting experience I have met so many wonderful people who
like to sew and display their creations. The Quiltilated Window Shade
gives seamstresses, quilters, and artisans that opportunity. Even
someone new to sewing can make the Quiltilated Window Shade by
following my basic shade instructions.
These instructions are easy to follow. I am available by email should
you have any questions. I am developing supplemental material which
will teach a variety of sewing techniques that can be used for your
Quiltilated Window Shade. However, for right now, all you need to get
started is the basic shade instructions.
When you’re finished making your shade, take a moment to send an
email telling about your project. I would love to hear about the
shade you have created. Have fun, use your design imagination but most
of all enjoy the experience!
