This slipcover was made using an antique chenille bedspread and coordinating Schumacher fabric - Wellfleet Ticking Patchwork in pink and green.
The only requirements I had to follow was to use the large motif on the cushion and the inside back. The finished bottom hem of the bedspread was used as the skirt, and I was able to use an interesting pattern on the back which matched the rounded shape at the top edge. This slipcover earned 2nd place in a CHF slipcover design contest.

This sorority house dining room had a complete makeover from the walls to the window treatments. Before, the windows kind of disappeared in the dark wallpaper. There are 6 windows with traversing drapery panels and soft cornices. The panels are two widths each and the cornices are 59″ wide, short point of 16″, long point of 20″. The fabric is pattern Picket, color Ruby from Artmark and has been FR coated. Workroom: Sew Nice, Designer: Anita Goris

Upholstery and window treatment design and fabrication by MAQ Design, Canterbury, NH.
The chairs are 2 of 8 in a dental waiting room office. The valances were designed to give adequate proportional length and to allow the maximum amount of light. The double- sided soft cornice was mounted on a 1×5 board with legs to be as attractive from the outside as in. The sheer was mounted on a 1/4″ brass rod on the legs of the board. The entire unit was attached inside the window.

These pretty drapery swags dress up this bedroom without blocking the view of the gorgeous pool outside the French doors. The coordinating silk pillows with rouched detail make the chairs by the fireplace a welcome retreat.
