I will most definitely share pictures of the projects I'm planning over the summer. I've got three projects planned for the near future. I'm planning on making Roman Shades for my living room and dining room windows. They are both bay windows, with the big picture window in the middle and the two small side bays. . . it's taken me a long time, and much effort to find the "dowels" I need to create these damn things. I searched on line and finally found a place in Ohio that makes them. Problem was that my windows (middle) measure 53" and Home Depot and Loews only sell them in 48". Now they are ordered and on the way. The fabric is an off "white on white" (like a fine light weight tapestry) that I actually bought while I was still married to my ex (1992) but he had no interest in me prettying up the house. He liked the boring, cold vertical blinds that were on the windows. Guess he didn't feel like hanging drapery rods. So, I never made the drapes. At that same time, my daughter recently married and was in her first home and I made drapes, etc. for her living room and dining room and my ex even knew what they would look like. ?????
I'm also planning on reupholstering a quilted headboard the I originally made for my daughter at the same time I made her drapes. I bought black/white toile fabric. I also have valances to match. After that, I will see how much fabric I've got left over (had to buy extra in order to match the pattern for the queen sized headboard), and maybe make panels for the window.
