Nice job! It looks like an antique! I...Hey Richard. Nice job! It looks like an antique! I do have one question, though. How is it held in place? The mantle top is marble, correct? In the photos it looks like it's just stuck around the edges. I had originally thought that there was a section of fabric over the top (like a table cloth).JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09831757279235998895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19406729577655707.post-77560027094499658452011-08-01T16:05:40.959-07:002011-08-01T16:05:40.959-07:00Hi!
I'm so thrilled to have finally found this...Hi!<br />I'm so thrilled to have finally found this post in your blog archives. I adore your lambrequin and still can't understand why VICTORIAN HOMES didn't show a picture of it. I think yours is far prettier than Mrs. Davis's, but then I'm partial to roses.<br /><br />Thanks for your generosity in sharing how you made this lovely piece for your mantel. I'm so inspired. I hope to make one for my own fireplace, although I'm more a cross-stitcher than a needlepointer.<br /><br />DebAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19406729577655707.post-68441292310813398312010-12-13T17:21:30.599-08:002010-12-13T17:21:30.599-08:00Your Lambrequin is stunning!
