Bed Hangings




I have finally found an antique cotton that works well as miniature linen - just fine enough to be in scale, but with a lovely texture, so I made the bed hangings, finally!  I had wanted to use silk, but came up against a lot of problems trying to make it drape properly without damaging the silk.  So I thought a lovely reamy cotton would be the next best thing.













I think it adds just the right amount of colour without losing the sense of white, clean bed linen.  I finished off the pelmet with some 2mm navy blue ribbn to add some contrast.


And of course, we need a matching Provençale style chair ...

  6. Hi Jonquil,
    My goodness you have been busy, Your beds look sooo pretty, I noticed you pinned some new work on pintrest, I just adore those little cushions with blue embroidery.The embroidered bed hangings are stunning, so delicate with just the right amount of colour.I haven't been doing much blogging but I did finnish the drapery in the twins room a few weeks ago, today is the day I plan to post about it and I must say it is quite a fiddly job to get the drape right.
    Well, it all looks beautiful Jonquil, your work is always so elegant.

  10. Hello Jonquil! What exquisite needlework you do! Every stitch is just perfection and this floral pattern is Perfect for the bed hangings. I love the way the entire bed looks and the pillow with the ties shows your eye for the finer little details. The ambience and personality of the bed and hangings is so in character with the other rooms. Beautifully done! :D
