One side of the front room curtains
I thought I'd never finish them, and started hating them, but now that they're through I love them again.

omg they are absolutely wonderful. I'm out of breath...
Of course I love the colors, the pattern too.
I've allways wanted to crochet curtains, but I' ve got very big windows.

Thank you, everyone, for your nice comments and for selecting this as a favourite!
Cecile, you're always so kind. I thought of you as I made these, knowing you'd love the bright colours! Let me know when your package arrives. I'm probably more excited about you getting it than you are!

That's a bright idea...Gonna crochet some. It reminds me of granny's windows in France, in Bretagne too...Thank you for sharing!

MlleHyena........I'm glad you like them! I took a look at your pictures and love what you do. You're very talented!

Recycled by Hyena (78 months ago | reply)
ohh Magpie, I am so proud you think I am talented! I love your FlickR, I didn't dare to add you yesterday but I thought about it. You and your guy just rock! And you are really talented as well. Thank you for the add!!
nursegypsynursegypsy (78 months ago | reply)
When we move I will be sending you window measurements. K?
bad bad magpie (78 months ago | reply)
Torirot and Howayne, I thank you. Odd, but just a few days ago I had looked at both of your Flickrs and enjoyed them both a lot!
Mlle, you're too cute. Don't underestimate your talent like I spent so many years doing! Trust me, you're way more talented than I am.
Gypsy, I love you dearly and you are one of the two best daughters any mother could have, but ..........no. You should have paid attention all the times I tried to teach you how to do it yourself. Tough love.

that is so pretty and looks so hard.
bad bad magpie (78 months ago | reply)
Thanks, Linda. It really wasn't hard.....just very time consuming.

those are beautiful curtains!

Really nice job, colors are great. I like the style. In Amsterdam I liked the white cafe curtains, this is similar.
craftyminx (78 months ago | reply)
wow! Those are awesome!

Again....thank you all! I'm so surprised these have gotten this much attention.

Those are amazing!
gnarlyis3 (77 months ago | reply)
Very striking! Mr. Edward Gorey would love them I suspect! They are so that style! It never occured to me that granny squares with so much space in the lace would hang so well!
bad bad magpie (77 months ago | reply)
Such nice things you all say!
Gnarly, I've never thought of them that way......as something Gorey would love, but I think you're right! That gave my day a boost!

oh my gawd...those are gorgeous!
bad bad magpie (77 months ago | reply)
Thank you, ms. ellemveee.
I just have to say that you look adorable in your little plaid dress. Retro suits you very, very well.

They look so dainty. Wow.

Very nice !
I'm just looking for a new garbage for one of my windows !
bad bad magpie (74 months ago | reply)
Thank you, Marie. I think I'm ready to do something for another window now. I had to take a rest after these!
Marie C. Cudraz (74 months ago | reply)
Hi
I just would see it soon !!!
:-))))
You have a real talent !
Perhaps could I ask for the explanations to work this piece of art ?
I will not copy the colours, I promise ! or the reference of the book you found it...
Thanks
bad bad magpie (74 months ago | reply)
Marie........I really have no idea where I found the pattern anymore. I just know I got it on-line at one of those sites that have lots of different granny square patterns. I guess I didn't save it as I've had a look in my favourites and don't see it. I just made it out of thick cotton instead of wool and used a fairly large hook so the squares wouldn't be too tight and stiff.
I don't care if you use the same colours or pattern! I'm not like some people who think if they make something it's only theirs. I'd love to see pictures when you do make them!
Marie C. Cudraz (74 months ago | reply)
Hi
Ok, I will try to found some patern in the web...
That was a joke when I said I would not use the same colours.... I found normal to copy a patern and normal too to found something new to add to the work... it's strange when someone copy everything !
Thanks for what you explane me...
When I will have some nice work, I will do some photos and show it here... promise... perhaps around 15th of May !
:-DDDD

Those are fabulous! I would have never thought of that I idea, but I love it.

Thanks, 'lulah and VaxGirl. It was definitely "work" at one point rather than pleasure, but I'm glad I made myself keep on.
