patchwork obsession part two


before-plastic and foam cover

after-quilted patchwork cover
I don't know why I am going to admit this, but the old cover was taped together. Yes, taped. It was a joy to be able to throw the old cover away. After I used it for a pattern, of course.

That is the cutest! I'm finding so many neat things to do for our baby on the way! I love this idea of yours! You are clever!

This is so great. I would never have thought of personalizing a high chair like that...so clever!

So much nicer and probably more comfy too.

So cute!! And now you can just throw it in the wash! Very clever! I love the idea of kid stuff matching the rest of my house...as much as possible anyway. Another great idea!!

You've gotta love excuses to put a homemade cover on something!

Oh, yeah, this is fabulous! I must admit that, not being a mother myself, I often cringe when I see other people's baby furniture, since it is usually so functional but not so attractive. You have turned this hugh chair into a piece of art! That quilted pad is just perfect. I love this mini-series you've got going on.

Great idea! Little A will be quite the stylin' young lady in this highchair! It looks very nice!

What a super idea! I bet this would be a huge seller if you decided to make these and sell them :)

Awesome! I used to make covers for our highchair out of vinyl tablecloths.

Oh my goodness, that's beautiful! What a difference it makes. The high chair suddenly looks so classy and, I dunno... POSH! Nice job! :)

Our highchair is in tatters too but I could never do anything like that... far too nice for baby food. C'mon admitt it, you only put that on when you have guests, right? please?
