Default Definitely not a Quilt

Love my neighbour dearly but she does seem to lead me down many paths. While she and her hobby are doing 2 weeks in Barbados, I spent 5 days in the basement reupholstering her chair. The cat is now, declawed. I can't really complain she is a great neighbour and gave me a new fence last summer. 3 pictures: before, during and after.

Yes, both chairs and chesterfields and slipcovers.
Its just a puzzle. Take it apart piece by piece and reassemble it. All the components are readily available anymore.

You did a wonderful job. My cats are declawed for this very reason.

Would you like to move to Ohio. I am sure there are some homes for sale close to me. Guess maybe not close enough. Beautiful Job on the chair. I've never been brave enough to try it.

Everybody says that. Next time you go to a flea market, garage sale, buy an old chair and try it. It's confidence as much as anything.
