We love how creative our customers are. Read on to see what Stacie did with a Maharaja swatch. Our swatches are a generous 45″ x 15″ long and at a pinch can double up as table runners, curtains (when a few are sewn together like I did), or lovely wall tapestries like Stacie did.
Here is what she wrote us:
I put the Empresses Emeralds valence in my kitchen window and I absolutely love it. It gives a really warm feeling to the room. It was hard for me to get a picture of it because of the way the room is oriented, but I did my best.
I wanted to display the Maharaja swatch in my living room. When I ordered the swatch, I was assuming something much smaller, with just the stamp of the elephant, and I thought I would frame it. But when I received the piece, I was surprised to find a much larger piece of fabric, including the border pattern, so I decided to turn it into a tapestry-type wall hanging. I sewed each end into a loop and used dowel rods to hang it and weigh the bottom. It’s a really unexpected piece, and is probably my favorite thing in my living room now.
I absolutely love both pieces, and am now thinking about ordering a bed spread!
The pics of the Empresses Emeralds Valance are to follow, but first let me show you the Maharaja swatch which became a lovely wall hanging
Here is another one. If you look beyond, you can see a sneak peek of the beautiful valance beyond.
And here are pics of the Empresses Emeralds Valance. So pretty.
Empresses Emeralds is from our Dreams of India Collection, a collection is inspired by the sari that holds within its bountiful folds the traditions, secrets and mysteries of the art of female adornment. Using hand block printing with gold paste overlay, the print recreates the look of India’s resplendent Benarasi silk saris with their myriad hues and skillfully woven shimmering gold zari motifs and borders.
