My good friend Michele texted me on Tuesday and asked if I wanted to be on TV....how could I pass that up????  The piece is about The Big Stitch, which is this coming Saturday, Jan 14th at FiftyForward Knowles. (174 Rains, Nashville--near the fairgrounds). It was a lot of fun to meet some of the local talent from Channel 5!


Today, Daniel and I decided to push forward in the kitchen and work on the fabric walls I keep talking to everyone about. Here's some photos!


I used the selvaged edge to estimate the bottom, I lined it up on top of the baseboard and nailed it to the wall (every few inches)...

I made sure to keep it tight and even the entire way across...

When I got to the corner, I put on nail as close to the corner as I could, left enough material to turn the corner, and then put another nail on the second wall as close to the corner as I could get it...I did this because nailing into the corner on the angle, was too hard. lol.....

The bottom is done here, and the top is roughly done, I spaced the nails at the top a little more than the bottom, I made sure to pull the fabric up and to the right to keep it flat to the wall...

Daniel, making an appearance to cut the chair rail! :) <3

 Once the top was secured, I trimmed the fabric off as close to the wall as I could...

 ...trimming...

 We used glue and a few nails to attach the chair rail...

I ended up being a little bit short, so I'll have to get more fabric and I'll have the joy of trying to match up the pattern...pictures to follow!
