What do you do with 8 yards of 18th-century french country blue and white toile?. you make pillows for your front room couch, slip covers for your dinning room head chairs and matching lamp shades for the vintage milk glass lamps.I ordered the blue toile from Country Curtains http://www.countrycurtains.com/ I could not find the shade of blue I wanted in any of our local fabric stores and since I had purchased curtains from them before and have always been pleased I decided to order the fabric and I
l-o-v-e the toile I was so excited when it arrived.
So now I had to get "busy" and start sewing.
The two dinning room chairs covered in pretty blue and white. I am in l-o-v-e with this fabric, I already told you that ha, but I just can't can't help myself I really do l-o-v-e it. 
The lamp shades on my Grandma's vintage milk glasses lamps I think Grandma would approve. 
I think the china blue and white fabric really help to make the dinning room fresh and clam. 
O.k. no spilling anyone.
Love the toile fabric and your projects made from it look especially nice!
