    Hey - I use a piano stool just like that one! They are awesome for sewing and really help reduce leg pain on those long FMQ sessions. Tell hubby to take orders for his handwork!

    What a loving and talented husband you have. The seat cover is an original.

    Love it! i wish my hubby had a hobby. Between your DH's hooking and your quilting, your house must be full of fabulous projects!

    adamae, no, he does the old hooking using linen and a tool that much resembles a crochet hook and a gripper frame stand. His hobby makes my quilting/sewing look cheap. Wool is ridiculously expensive. He has made some pretty awesome rugs, stair treads and other projects.

    Bonus ** he makes the best foccacia I've had anywhere :-)

    best,

    What a treasure you have there. The piano stool cover is great.
