120 triangles

That was a lot of cutting!  Thankful for my fabulous work table, cutting mat, and rotary cutter.  
Making good progress on the quilt!  Have all triangles cut and sewn together.  Now pressing seams and sewing each row together today.  Binding is made and ready to go.   Then on to backing the quilt, actually quilting it together, and binding.

club chair

I found this chair a long time ago at a thrift store for a crazy good deal.  In great shape, just a little dirty and dingy. 
The folks that did our living room chairs suddenly stopped doing reupholstery projects so that delayed my getting this done. 
Finally got around to finding a new place and taking the chair in.  Rainbow Upholstery in Raleigh did a great job and had a very quick turnaround.  So happy to have this done and in place in the craft/baby room!
