So happy I bumped into this info today on the quilted furniture I posted not long ago. Some of you may be interested in either seeing more or buying. The designer is:

Patricia Wood & Company, 120 E. Main St., Harbor Springs, MI 49740

231-526-9691 Store
231-526-9692 Fax
231-526-8868 Design Studio

Email: [email protected]

The furniture can be seen at an undisclosed shop in Harbor Springs, MI. Don't know any of the prices; you'd have to contact them through one of the numbers above. It looks like this furniture is for sale in all the major cities in the U.S. I knew you would love seeing more of the furniture not only for inspiration but just to enjoy the beauty of it. It is something else to see!!

I forgot .... I have one more picture and it's for all "hosta" lovers as the chair is upholstered with hosta leaves!! (I'm a hosta collector!!) Here's the pic:

Also, I can't believe I bumped into this again! Never in a thousand years did I ever think of finding it again. I was in a hurry the day I downloaded the first two pics in Part 1 and didn't have time to get any info. I had just remembered they were in a shop in California and it was an antique store or mattress store selling them and I thought the price was $1800 or $3300. Too long ago. But here is the last picture. Enjoy.

hosta lovers' dream come true

what a lovely idea, i am going to look for a beat up chair and then have a go at doing one. it really can't be that hard. can it?

Candace 03-06-2010 09:43 PM

Very country charmish.

beachlady 03-07-2010 04:07 AM

What adorable furniture! I am sure the prices reflect the work that goes into a piece made like that! I don't think I would let anyone sit on it if I owned it!

tlrnhi 03-07-2010 04:10 AM

Awesome!
So, if anyone is wondering what to get me for birthday, anniversary, Christmas, Mother's Day, or just because you like me....I'll take one of those chairs or sofas. Not picky on which one, I like them all. Just thought I'd toss that out there for ya. lol

earlylace 03-07-2010 04:37 AM

oh my, just one for me too!

Maggie_Sue 03-07-2010 04:45 AM

I'll take the wing back chair, would look so nice in my bedroom!!!

Up North 03-07-2010 05:10 AM

Oh My gosh I live about an hour from Harbor Springs. I see a road trip in my future!!

MNQuilter 03-07-2010 05:52 AM

they are pretty I just hope they did those quilts specifically for the furniture and they weren't some families heirlooms! If they were, shame on the family for not keeping them in the family. It just looks like so much work went into the quilting to have it end up a chair!

Rebecca VLQ 03-07-2010 06:39 AM

So cute it hurts!!! I want one!

jewelps 03-07-2010 07:57 AM

WOW!!! very beautiful, thanks for sharing

montanaquilter 03-07-2010 08:00 AM

No, I don't think it would be hard at all! I know I could do with one as I love to recycle things. I really think they use quilts that have no further needs like cutter quilts. Also, they had a picture of a lady that sells vintage fabrics and I associated her with their business as their main source for getting their vintage fabrics used in the upholstering! Also, there are plenty of DIY networks on the web that you could easily reupholster one yourself. Be sure and post pics! We'd love to see!

:D :D

I bet the prices are good from the quilting end and the upholstering end! I know I wouldn't let anyone set on it if I owned it either!

:D

I'm trading hubby a chair for a chair- mine is a regular chair- he needs the straight back and seat height. the trade is from my antique furniture in the guest room. It's faded blue velvet- wonder what I could transform it into????

Maybe some orphan blocks I have around here.....

Let us know what you pick up!!! They had gorgeous sofas upholstered with beautiful florals also!! matching floor pillows to boot!! One chair had a darling "ruffled" bottom!

:D :D

danmar 03-07-2010 10:10 AM

Look how easy to redo this wardrobe -- a vintage fan quilt was rescued for new life in this door. So simple and so effective!

Here is an upcycled vintage doll chair using vintage doily with new fabrics. An apple shows the scale of the chair. :D

Wow, those are so cute. Great idea for your sewing room.

One of those chairs would be beautiful in a Guest room or great in a quilting shope to display their products! Thanks for sharing and for the ideas.

This furniture is absolutely dreamy!! :thumbup: Wouldn't we all LOVE to have a piece or two of it? :D Thank you ever so much for sharing these gorgeous piece's with all of us today!! I am dreaming, dreaming, dreaming!!
:D :D :D :D

ctmhjenn 03-07-2010 10:45 PM

There are not enough pieces to go around, so they all have to come to ME. They are just gorgeous, someone had a very brilliant idea. Joanie

Carol W 03-08-2010 05:11 AM

Very nice.

dsj 03-08-2010 07:12 AM

Thanks for the info, how cute. I have thought about doing that with yard sale finds and thrift shop finds. You can get pretty creative refinishing and upholstering. I would shoot someone if they sat on those chairs or sofa's. I love those. I am so girly anyway, I am drooling all over myself.

I'm in dreamland too! Yes, some people know just how to turn things around with garage sale finds, etc. This is right up my alley! I would redesign the whole room around one of these pieces or the whole house!! haha!! Me girly, too. Love those feminine touches that these bring to a house or shop!

:D :D

To me, it doesn't look like re-cycled furniture. It is so unique, it looks as though it was specifically created from scratch to be what it is ... as Marcia says, "stinking adorable". It looks pretty delicate, though ... structurally, I mean.

stitchinwitch 03-08-2010 02:33 PM

How unusually BEAUTIFUL that is!! I want to "move in" whereever it is! At a shop?? No Problem - I will pack a back and bring my green tea and shortbread cookies??

No, this is NOT recycled furniture at all!! There is a specific designer who designs these pieces with specially designed quilts intended for upholstering. DSJ mentioned she would like to do this with garage sale/thrift shop finds. That's a whole different category from this type of furniture. But it would look really neat to upcycle an old chair with a quilted piece. The designer also designs a lot of the scroll type woodwork you see in the studio in the background painted white. She has done some of the bedroom furniture painted white you also see in her studio. It is sturdy and one-of-a-kind.

:D :D
