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.

  11. 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.

    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?
