Telephone Chair

This is the project that I chose to finish for the Quiltsy team's January UFO challenge. "
"A Goodwill find, it was missing the seat altogether; with my previous background of 20 years in the reupholstery biz I still feel that all too familiar pull when I come across an interesting piece of furniture.

Thanks, Valerie! I am rather fond of the little piece myself!

You did a great job on the chair. I remember my grandparents and parents owning phone chairs, wish I still had one of those.

Thanks, quiltingfrenzy! I never saw a phone chair before I found this one. Wanna buy it? I'll list it on etsy for you!

I LOVE this piece of furniture...and the material you chose to upholster it with is perfect. It's paisley, isn't it? I don't know much about quilting or fabrics, except that I like it.

What a great find, Sarah! I have to start browsing those outlet stores. I've heard that they have yarn sometimes too.

Yes, Doris, that is a paisley fabric. And yes, I have seen yarn at Goodwill many, many times and always think of you when I see it.
