This
book was written in 2000 and is intended for the quilter who wants to learn how
to make a pieced Roman shade. If you are only making a one-fabric shade, look
over the Table of Contents carefully to make sure that you will be happy with
this book. It is not as detailed as the How To instructions on this web site. It
also does NOT have instructions for making a Top-Down shade. That said,
it is a beautiful, full-color book with lots of photographs and illustrations.

for your home's windows. Whether you choose simple log cabin or more
advanced watercolor or Bargello designs, custom pieced Roman shades
provide a versatile new way to display your personal style and fabric
art.

Reviews for
"Pieced Roman Shades"
The
quilted shades, with the sunlight shining through, make windows look
like they have stained glass. The jewel-toned, color photos of the
author's own quilted-shade projects are achingly beautiful.

Terrell
Sundermann's "Pieced Roman Shades" tells how to
transform traditional quilt patterns into Roman shades for the home.
Quilters who want more practical display applications for their projects
will relish new ideas on making practical Window Hangings out of quilt
designs. Highly recommended.

Comments from
Quilters
I am planning to make shades for the
rest of our house - the master bedroom with sheets and blankets hanging
on the windows will be next! A Bargello design will be the first design
for a long narrow window. Your book "Pieced Roman
Shades" has been torn apart and each page placed in a protective
sheet and the entire book put into a three ring binder. If I had not
done this, the book would be falling apart now. Thanks so much for all
your assistance and advice, in the book and on your website. See

Am truly
enjoying the "process" and think your book is one of the best
I've invested in for years. I was an interior design in my "last
life" and feel that your technical and design advice and
descriptions are great! I've only been sewing/quilting a little over a
year, but am passionate about the many choices we have as sewers and
you've opened a new "window" for many of us. I'm not a
math-techy person, but I can design like crazy, so your patient, clear,
double-checking, instructions are a blessing.

What a beautiful
way to cover a window! You explain in clear words and many helpful
diagrams how to design and construct a Roman shade from a quilt top.
Although I have made many Roman shades and a few quilts, this book
provides ideas, instructions, and tips that make it worth every cent and
more.
