I've been busy lately with projects other than my quilts.  I purchased these adorable garden bench sides at the local flea market a few weeks ago but thought it was too pretty to return it to a garden bench.  So I turned it into a cozy chair.  I put on new wood slats but shortened them to 22".  Then I covered them with 2" foam and a pretty muted flower print.  I think this shabby chic chair will be great in a sunroom or covered porch.

I'll be setting up at the ICA (International Collectors and Antiques Show) in Charlotte the first weekend in  November.  This chair, my quilts and a lot of other goodies will be there for sale.  Stop by and say "Hi".  I'll post more info on the show in October.

I've also been repairing a pretty green and pink quilt from the late 1800's.  I hope to have that finished next week and will post about the repairs.  It's going to be AWESOME!!
