Chair with quilted seat
This project was a combined effort with my neighbors George and Gloria. They are both accomplished, prize winning quilters. Last year Gloria saw a painted chair with a quilted seat in a quilter's magazine and suggested we do one together. I found the chair at our church rummage sale last March. Gloria & George came up with the quilt design for the seat and finished it during the summer. I finally had the time to do the painting. I wanted to keep it simple to not detract from the beauty of the quilting. I picked up part of the flower design for the back of the chair and did a simple border. I think the painting compliments the quilting without overpowering it. We will sell the chair and split any profit. There is a quilt show here in our community next month and hopefully we will be able to show it there.
