Very nice.

Oh Rose, that is beautiful and I wish I was like you and finished before starting another! I see a block that I haven't made and I have to try it. :oops: My goal this year is to finish at least 2 of my UFOs.

very pretty.....

Wait... a valance is a curtain??

Over here a valance is like a skirt that covers the legs of the bed (it goes over the base under the mattress and has frilly bits that hang down just touching the floor).

It wasn't till the end of the thread that I realised I was thinking of something different to what you were talking about, but thank you anyway! LOL You've given me a marvelous idea. :-)

Your valance is our dust ruffle.

I love hearing about differences in countries, language and cultures...I think it's so cool!

Dust ruffle! LOL That sounds hilarious.

I'm making a quilt for our bed, and have been wondering about where I'll be able to get a valance / dust ruffle to compliment it. It never occurred to me to make one! LOL

I think here in the US we call it a dust ruffle because it 1. Prevents the dust bunnies from getting under the bed and 2. hides them when they do! LOL

[quote=molly4503]Then you would love the Japanese students I had. I told one we were going to eat Tacos and she looked HORRIFIED and said no way she was not eating Taco. I pulled out the conversion book and found I had just told her we were going to eat squid!!!!! LOL

Those are the cutest valances!!! Good Job!!! :D :D :D

Squid?!? LOL
We had an American exchange student many years ago, she went for a nap to get over the jet lag and we told her we would wake her for tea. She went to sleep wondering if she would really have to get up to drink a cup of tea. Over here, we call "dinner" tea. ;-)
