Welcome to The Needle and The Thread. My name is Sydney Hardiman and I’ve been running a drapery workroom since 2001. I have a BA in Literature and Communication arts and like to try and put that to use by writing articles about the window treatment industry. I love writing articles and doing research. Sometimes I come across something interesting that I want to share, but the information isn’t large enough or detailed enough for an entire magazine article. Sometimes I just want to give my opinion on something going on in the industry. So here’s my new blog. I hope you learn a little something from what you read, here and that you take the time to come on back and see what’s new.
