Gratitude Day 7 -Friday Finds

I am grateful for a sewing machine that works, eyes (or glasses) that can see to thread a needle, and a sewing/art room to make a big mess in.
I found this most awesome fabric to make pillows to go on my new gray leather love seat at the salon. It was a special order from JoAnn Fabrics which I had never done before, but they had the perfect stuff and it was on sale that week to boot.
Linking up with Kim for Friday Finds. Speaking of Kim... I won her give away this week. The Kinfolk  book. How sweet! I had been thinking of checking it out at Barnes and Noble. Now I can check it out in the comfort of my home. Thank you Kim!

I decided at the last minute to add the fringe. If I'd thought of it earlier I could have just left off that darn piping. But I like using more than one fabric.

Quite sassy I think. You know what? After a week of having a new love seat and a couple new chairs at the salon, I've come to realize people are just not observant. I asked everyone if they noticed and not one person did. Well, I'm really doing it for me not them. It's just nice for people to notice. After 11 years it's time for an update. By the time I finish with the window treatments and new photos on the walls some of them will. But like I say, it's for me, I'm the one that has to look at it all the time.

  4. Love your piping and fringe and storyboards, especially your words on a line. My machine is not working which mades me jealous of your beautiful project.
