I may not have been sewing during the work week but I was planning... so the bed linen-making went smoothly yesterday afternoon.
I added straps with velcro that go underneath the bed so the mattresses won't slip... or slide off the bed.
The straps also hold the "sheet" on the mattress... I didn't want to mess with elastic. With this arrangement, if the sheets become dirty, they can be removed and washed.
The quilt tops are made... now, to turn them into quilts! Almost done.....
I love the eyelet dust ruffle and gingham "linens"! How sweet!!
ReplyDeleteOh , Freda.....they are adorable !!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe girls will love them.
It is a brilliant idea to use the lace as a dust ruffle! No gathering = happiness (at least in my book.) I love the gingham, too. When I was 9-11 I craved having a blue gingham bedroom, complete with Priscilla curtains (remember those.) I am sure your granddaughters are going to love these.
ReplyDeletethese are coming out so cute!
ReplyDeleteOh, Heavens! Those are delightful, Empress! Which one is mine? ;)
ReplyDeleteSo adorable!
ReplyDeleteOh, these are so sweet!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Freda, these are so cute. I want to play with them myself! :oD
ReplyDeleteOh the gingham is so perfect for the beds! You thought of all the details:)
ReplyDeleteAww, those are so nice! Love them. You are doing such a good job.
ReplyDeleteYou have so many good tips and ideas if I decide to get a bed to display small quilts.
