It was am accident, we packed up and left the house for an afternoon of sighting in our hunting rifles and teaching the the kids a few lessons of gun safety. They left for home directly from the shooting range and forgot it being in the shop.

What a great transformation. I know she will really enjoy that padded seat. And to know that her grandparents did this for her will be the best gift she could get.

First let me say that is a beautiful job....an extremely difficult one at that with the chosen fabric...to pull that off with straight lines, no wrinkles, and a perfectly finished edging is a miracle indeed...Congrats....that said...be careful..it's terribly addicting..you start seeing projects everywhere you look and then you start thinking I could quilt the fabric and from there you are in deep trouble....LOL
