Before & After

Did you know that when we started this little Fiber & Fire adventure the only furniture we did was "quilted furniture"? Reupholstering in bright funky colors/patterns and painting wood in goodness knows what colors didn't really appeal to us at the time. Now of course we like to mix it up and we tend to find ourselves all over the place but the quilted pieces always leave their mark on us a little longer. So without further trips down memory lane let me introduce you to this floral catastrophe. This is the second chair we've found lately that had a nice large slash in the back fabric. We aren't really sure if people have resorted to their furniture for anger management therapy or what but even minus the fabric incident on the back that floral pattern just had to go!

It is no secret that mom is the talented quilter in our bunch and while sometimes we find vintage quilt tops to upholster with she took one look at this chair and decided she would be making the quilt to adorn this wing back.

We think it came out great and apparently quite a few people at the festival agreed because we got TONS of great comments on it. Only one person could take it home though and we're so glad that it found a home with someone who is just as nuts about the chair as we are!

We're joining a party over at somewhat simple here and miss mustard seed here.
