I was
honored to be a guest on the PBS television program "Creative
Living with Sheryl Borden". We filmed four segments in April of
2008. The segments will air in the 2008/2009 season. "Creative
Living" is seen in 108 markets, mostly in New Mexico, Oklahoma and
Texas. Check your local listings to see if you get this wonderful
"home economics" program, which has aired for 31 years!
We are in the
process of loading each segment onto the web site. Sheryl has granted us
permission to post these programs. In the meantime, you can view the
programs on You
Tube.

I've
added the Search Function to the Home Page. The
web site is set up with five major sections: Shopping, Meet the
Artist, Galleries, How To and FAQs. These are on the Masthead
of every page. When you click on a Section, all of the topics in that
section on listed in the left-hand navigation column. During your early
visits, click on each Section tab and then browse through the topics
listed on the left. Once you are familiar with the site, the easiest way
to find what you are looking for is to use the search function. It is on
this page and on the Site Map page, as well as the Home Page. For example, if you are making a
shade for a French door, search for all of the pages that contain the
phrase French door. Have fun and don't forget to contact Terrell if you
want an answer to something that is not already covered.

I've
added another section to the FAQs area: Questions
about Top-Down Roman shades. I've also posted a photograph of

I
get lots of inquiries on how to fill pinholes in Blackout lining. The
only place you should have these is where you sew on your lift rings.
All seams are hidden. I am such an inaccurate hand sewer, that I don't
even get pinholes where my rings are sewn on. For those of you who are
more accurate than I am, we have a NEW
PRODUCT:
a white paint marker used
to fill pinholes in Blackout lining.

I
am working on five top-down shades and as I was completing
the valances, I noticed that the online instructions did not print
out correctly. I have added spaces in the text so that it now prints
correctly on my printer. If you notice other pages where this happens,
please E-Mail me and I will correct the
errors.

Elizabeth
DeNoble sent me photographs of her latest shades. Not only are they
"stained glass in fabric", but they show a great way to cover
trapezoid window (angled at the top).
December 27, 2007
We
have added a new Item for our customers outside of the USA who are
making shades wider than 36.5". Since the postal regulations now
limit the length of a package to 42", we offer a 40" long
batten: Item PB-40.

You'll
want to view photographs of the two rooms of Roman shades made by Michael
Green of Seattle, Washington.
More
modifications have been progressing on the "How To" section.
I'm sure you will appreciate the added detail on building
your Headrail. This is an area where I always get a lot of messages
asking for clarification.

The
Hardware Calculator has been enhanced. I refer
repeatedly on this site to the terms Lower Drop and Top Border. These items have been
called out. I've also added a new length of plastic batten: PB4. I don't
know why I didn't think about it earlier since we offer the weight rods
and mounting boards in 4-ft lengths. The Results Printout also
calls out the length to cut your boards, battens and rods based upon
your Finished Shade Width.
You will
want to read the added instructions on how
to use the Hardware Calculator. This new page is complete with
examples that you can use to get familiar with this wonderful tool.
The biggie
is a re-write of the first few sections of the How-To Instructions.
There are now step-by-step instructions on how to sketch your own Roman
Shade Pattern. You can print out the Pattern Template page and then
follow the detailed directions.
