bobbi Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 So, I always get so much inspiration from the magazines I get... I just couldn't resist this.... I used scraps that were already cut, and put them together, quilted them and Voila! Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbi Posted June 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 When I moved to Ohio 9 years ago, I didn't have much furniture, so I turned to the Thrift stores, and bought chairs, dressers, tables, etc. I found two of these and got 'em for about $5/ea. I haven't started the other as I have a quilt on... my challenge to myself was to just use scraps and not do much cutting.... LOL I love the sort of 'Shabby Chic" look, so I've built on that - although I think I'm done "crackling" every piece of wood furniture that comes in the door! Here's the back... I decided to use rick rack instead of the usual braid... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbi Posted June 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 I know this sounds a bit odd, but I'm compelled to create new stuff! I bet we're all like that.. I just can't sit still very long and need to keep quilting or doing this sort of thing! I'm so glad you enjoy looking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbi Posted June 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Shannon! That's really kool! I've reupolstered a couch, but it takes more physical work than I am up to these days! I do have to say that a while back someone posted the blue Hawaiian appliqued sofa and I fell head over heals for that one! Thanks everyone for your great comments!

quiltmonkey Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Very cool. Bobbi, :Dso would we call this "The It's OK to sit on my quilt chair?" (as opposed to the title of that book called "The It's OK to sit on my quilt book?") --- (I've often wondered if the author means it's OK to sit on the "quilt" or it's OK to sit on the quilt "book" because one could read it either way...I have that book and just out of pure curiosity, I have sat on it and...well, yes... it's OK!)

witha'K'quilting Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 LOL Shana! :P Bobbi...I just got the same magazine you did. I thought this was just the neatest idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sewlinzi Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Love the chair! Shabby chic is very in here and I can't resist buying the most awful junk. Trouble is, I don't have the time to do it up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbi Posted June 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Shana - did the book "sit" well? lol you are too funny girl! Kristina, I almost never have to purchase patterns! I've made soooo many quilts and stuff from the mags! Karen: I'd love to, but I think the shipping to Aussie land would be a bit prohibitive! Check your local thrift stores, you could do this even to dining room chairs that have a padded seat. Linzi - would LOVE to see what's in YOUR thrift stores!!! ALL!
