As I mentioned in a previous post, I am on five-day holiday from work and I planned to spend time working on my project backlog.
One of my backlogged projects, was deciding what to do with a small (baby or doll sized) quilt top I made from a collection of 2″ inch squares. I decided this weekend to recover the stool I keep under my computer desk in my studio with it!
Here is what I started with – a lovely stool given to me by a friend (who originally bought it second hand):
The butterfly fabric was nice but the fabric was dated, had a weird velour-like feeling and did not bring me joy.
So – on top of the current cover, with a layer of batting placed underneath, I recovered it with my 2″ squares (aka “postage stamp”) quilt top:
It fits my studio better and goes with the general studio theme of quilting and creating.

Here is my next project in queue from my backlog – Tango Stripe, a pattern I bought in 2011 or 2012 by Jean Wells of the Stitchin’ Post:
I am very excited about this quilt, I fell in love with the store sample at the Stitchin’ Post (see list on my blog of “Central Oregon Quilt Shops” for links to my local shops).
I like your stool, marvelous idea!

Beautiful stool, I think it is a piano stool perhaps? 👏

You might be right, my friend bought it second hand and then donated it to me years later.

I love the chair! I saw someone else who received a quilted chair for Christmas and thought what a great idea! Was it hard to do with the extra bulk of 3 layers?

No just a staple gun to secure and the reattaching the legs base (the top section unscrewed from the leg base.

Great improvement on stool! I’m not one for sewing little bitty pieces together, but this is pretty inspiring.
