The Seat of the Art: Granddaddy's Chair

This is a post about a finish...WOW..another finish
Good Grandma O'Quilts!!!

$15 plus $5 shipping from Waverly online...last year.
That chair pad was a perfect foundation to make a patchwork for my Mr. O'Quilt's recliner.
It was his favorite chair...
It evidently had a thin kind of leather cover which pealed off, leaving ugly.
After he died, I wanted to trash the chair.
OOOOOOO   NO.Everyone wanted to keep Granddaddy's chair.

What to do??
Cover it with remnants of clothes from my travels...
Guatemala, Israel, Istanbul, India and more..A little here and a little there.
Below is one pocket.

This pocket on the other side of the chair cover is a Janko pocket from Tuffy jeans.
They were so cool when my son was in middle school.. I save everything!!
That would have been 21 years ago.

Since this is a wild and crazy piece of memory, I have finished it with a large zigzag stitch.
Some places were difficult even with a walking foot and a jeans needle.
Oh, my ,...I am wondering if I need an industrial machine now...if I am going to create like this.

I love looking at the fabric...the memories of "hippy" clothes
that I bought during those travels in my youth.

This is all finished but the elastic that will keep it positioned on the chair.

Granddaddy....Do you like it??
