Summary

Making your own window treatment has never been easier. Choose from over 40 fresh designs for windows in every room of the home. The authors have over 50 years of combined experience and they did not holdback on providing all of their special tips to insure that the reader create a quality window treatment that they can be proud of. Donna and Vicki consider themselves to be the reader's personal trainer as they guide their readers through the creative process. This is evident in the detailed, helpful, and friendly instructions. The book is full of how-to diagrams and color pictures. The instructions are not overwhelming-it's as if the authors are sitting there with you as you create. Each project can stand on its own with references to specific techniques in the very infomative "Techniques To Know" section. The book has a complete glossary and index for easy reference.
