My daughter wanted rid of a tub chair and asked if I would like it, not one to refuse a freebie, I gratefully accepted to take it off her hands…I had a plan!

What a great job you’ve done in “upcycling” these chairs. It’s something on my (never ending) to do list
-
Thanks Sheena,was fun to do.

-
Absolutely lovely! Would love this sort of challenge and how brave of you to take it on. Both of these are great!
-
Thanks Ruth..great challenge…you can do it!

They are lovely Lyn! I am almost tempted to tackle a small sofa in a similar way, it’s only two tub chairs pushed together after all….

Go for it Cathryn

I love this Lyn, when I showed TC he said that like the one in our bedroom!! I might have to get him to pull it apart! Then all I need to do is find the box of Liberty samples that I was given years ago for and carefully put away for a rainy day!

Would look be great in Liberty’s…go for it!

Lyn Butler wrote a new post, Marmite anyone? 7 years, 10 months ago
Foundation piecing is a bit like Marmite, you either love it or hate it…well I love it…FPP that is..not Marmite.. well I don’t exactly hate it but it just sits in the cupboard next to the 5 Spice.. just how long…

-
Not keen on marmite(or 5-spice, as we had an elderly bottle of it that I only threw out last year…) however I absolutely adore FPP and have used it to make some beautiful quilts! Thanks for spreading the word about it!
-
Karin…thankyou

That is a really nice design Lyn. Thank you. I often wonder if I should whip out my camera and take pics of tiles….

Thankyou so much Maggie

Lovely pattern Lyn, came together beautifully, going to try it with Christmas fabric, and one of my daughters wants me to make her one in red tones!

Busy lady.

I always take some EPP with me wherever I travel, in the UK or abroad. If I’m not driving I’ll be sewing!
And I’m definitely sewing whilst flying as it takes my mind off the fact I’m up in the air!-
Great idea.

Sounds like a wonderful cruise, so pleased you found a like minded patcher friend.
