A while back I purchased this chair on Ebay. I know, the fabric is HID-EY-US but the over all style of the chair was exactly what I was looking for. See its actually a rocker/glider. It may not look like a traditional rocking chair but that’s what I like about it.

There appeared to be some wear and tear on the arms so we cleaned them up by sanding them down and applying a clear coat of varnish. They look brand new. The legs could use the same treatment but for now they’ll do.
I found some durable microsuede fabric in a solid light blue color called Spa. I chose a solid rather than a print fabric as it could work well in any room of our house but for now it will be part of the baby’s room.

Since it was a little more complicated than adding some padding and a few staples I contacted a local reupholstery guy to do the work for us and now its back at the Casa de Buscher!
He was recommended to us by a friend and was very reasonably priced. I think he did a great job and I look foward to using it A LOT this winter. If only there was time to make a matching ottoman cover…hum. How hard can that be, right?

So glad the quilt is done. It really is lovely. I am glad you discovered the walking foot, it is a good tool whenever you are putting layers together.
Thanks for sharing the end product. I wish you many happy snuggles with baby B.
