Although green is my favourite colour, I’m so over bottle green. My living room is small and the darkness of the couch doesn’t help. Besides, with 3 cats and 2 dogs, they (there are 2×3 sofas) need all the protection they can get.
The slipcover is getting rather worn, and one of the dogs has nibbled the buttons off the side. I had some gorgeous floral fabric that was just begging to be put to use and on display. My original intention was to make cushions for the top of an old chest, but I might turn it into a coffee table instead.
From the dog-bed making adventures I had some padding, and I can’t remember why I bought such a huge length of calico for, so long ago. I had a search on google for quick and easy quilts, and found a great many ideas. The end result is a lovely floral quilt to drape over the couch. Mind you, after a week of sitting on it, I realised why quilts have those..um..quilting lines in them. It’s all wrinkled now! Oh well the quilting lines can be put in another day. I thought it wasn’t a bad effort considering I can only sew in one stitch and straight lines!
At least it’s slowly all coming together!
