Chair by Chair

Well,  it has been a seriously long time since I have posted on here...  Sorry that I haven't kept this blog more current, but please understand that this has been the hardest year of my life, well, I guess two years, as we approach the anniversary of my Mother's passing.  Sometimes those stupid facebook memes are helpful.  "the journey of one thousand miles begins with one step."  So, here goes!!!
     We are still cranking up here at the Seating Arrangement, and I think that the economic laws of supply and demand are finally catching up, as the demand for upholstery seems to be pretty high, and the number of upholsterers seems to be shrinking daily, of course punctuated by the death of my Mother, the greatest upholsterer that ever lived! :)
    So, here is a chair.  A woman brought in a bunch of swatches that she had found that had some commonalities in design and color, but nothing exact, or perfect, but she said, "just be creative, I trust your judgement."  It came out pretty cool! *(if I do say so myself)


This is a cute little parlour, or occasional chair for the library
Here, you can see the natural horse hair underlayment of material that will go under the layer of cotton.  I augmented the padding with a layer of dacron/poly batting


The finished product in the freight elevator, ready for delivery!!!
