My Field Trip

I excused myself from work on Monday to take a field trip. I had a special delivery to make and I want to share it with you. This summer, my Stout Brother's Fabric sales rep asked me to create a window treatment to be displayed in their showroom. I was flattered by the request and saw it as an opportunity to present All Sewn Up to the designers who frequent the showroom seeking fabric and trim that will satisfy the needs of their customers. The valance I created for them, using a beautiful Stout linen fabric along with their trim, is called a Catherine.

This is a great treatment for heightening a small window (such as this one), but requires a lot of room above the window so as not to cover too much of the glass. To further showcase Stout's products, we mounted the treatment on posts and attached one of their fabulous medallions to the end of the post.

We were all very pleased with the outcome.

After the treatment was installed, I shopped for fabric for a few of my own customers. While Stout has created a very comfortable showroom in which to view fabrics, I couldn't resist exploring the warehouse where I was delighted to see row upon row of lovely fabrics lined up and waiting to be turned into masterpieces. We should all dream so big...
