Friday – One last day at IWCE, then time to head home

Back to the Georgia World Congress Center one last time. The day begins with Somfy’s Motorization seminar. I’m interested especially in the motorized shades that are sun-activated. Just suction cup the sensor onto the window, and when the sun’s bright, down comes the shade! There are so many options and possibilities in motorization.

Then off to an in-depth workshop by Terri Booser on Understanding Pattern Repeats and Calculating Yardage. Helpful material again, not just for the workroom, but also for the designer in calculating yardages for all types of window fashions and applied trim, and unraveling the mysteries of pattern repeats.

A quick trip around the show floor, some goodbyes, and then off to the airport. Back to the family – home is going to feel good!
