not your grandma's antimacassar

we bought the DH a new chair

the point was to get him a chair that the springs in the seat weren't all broken

(I was having nightmares about finding him and the dog both stuck in the old one with their backsides on the floor through the chair and all their appendages sticking straight up in the air!)

this chair, a very nice Lane, was on sale, which was why we ended up with this color

heh, but he reads the newspaper sitting here -- actually two or three of them a day -- hmmm, light colored microfiber upholstery plus newsprint -- not a good mix

so I went to my scrap box and pulled out some left over velour from another project earlier in the year -- there was just enough to create these covers for the arms of the chair (including a double thickness on the top edge) and since they are velour they stick nicely to the microfiber fabric of the chair so there were no pins needed to hold them in place

cool!
and while I was at the sewing machine, I finished up two more baby buntings for Asher -- he will have a nice assortment of these when he gets here


stitching on the Dream Rocket project is going really well -- I should be able to start on the little paper doll figures soon --

and I'm about a quarter of the way through quilting the baby quilt

need to go get some groceries today, but there should be lots of studio time after that
