they are pretty I just hope they did those quilts specifically for the furniture and they weren't some families heirlooms! If they were, shame on the family for not keeping them in the family. It just looks like so much work went into the quilting to have it end up a chair!

No, I don't think it would be hard at all! I know I could do with one as I love to recycle things. I really think they use quilts that have no further needs like cutter quilts. Also, they had a picture of a lady that sells vintage fabrics and I associated her with their business as their main source for getting their vintage fabrics used in the upholstering! Also, there are plenty of DIY networks on the web that you could easily reupholster one yourself. Be sure and post pics! We'd love to see!

I bet the prices are good from the quilting end and the upholstering end! I know I wouldn't let anyone set on it if I owned it either!

I'm trading hubby a chair for a chair- mine is a regular chair- he needs the straight back and seat height. the trade is from my antique furniture in the guest room. It's faded blue velvet- wonder what I could transform it into????

Maybe some orphan blocks I have around here.....
