Before & After

Check out my do-it-yourself job on this old wooden chair purchased from @home many many months ago. A little gray spray-paint and cute cushion was the trick. I can't take credit for the cushion, it came with the chair, but it definitely looks cuter on the chair with a little added color.

Spools of Thread

I took this photograph at the SCAD Atlanta campus. I didn't catch the artist's name, but I love all of the old wooden spools of thread here.

Screen-Printing Workshop

I constructed some very cute pillows for my newly reupholstered couch---complete with zippers to take the pillow form out. I used screen-printing samples from the workshop and the backing of the pillows are made from the same fabric the couch is reupholstered in.

A few pieces from the Extra Credit Parent workshop that my co-worker and I taught this summer!

Before & After

I had this couch reupholstered (not by me.....I wish!) for $500 + the cost of fabric. I found some great fabric at a local upholstery shop for $5 a yard. My upholsterer told me to purchase at least 15 yards for the job. There was a little leftover for pillows!

Take a look at my craigslist's purchase for $70.

Baby Quilt

Here are a few pictures of a baby quilt I just completed yesterday. The quilt is a total of 9 blocks and each block is 12"x12". Enjoy!

MassArt Fibers Dept.

Just got back from a long weekend in Boston and enjoyed every minute of it. While visiting, I got to tour the Fibers Dept. at MassArt. It was great to see another school's studio space and especially their Fibers Dept!

This is long over due. Just thought I'd share for those who missed my little patchwork wallets last October on the Country Home website.
