Denbigh and Flint County Show

Hello Friends

Yesterday was a corker!  I was demonstrating at the Denbigh and Flint Show and it was great!

You can see the piece I was working on in the background.  It's a very funky 50's chair that originally looked like this:

The lovely client, Karen, chose some Romo (Arran) zig zag fabric with a complimenting purple piping and I got busy slip stitching and pattern matching!

Front of the arm

The show also gave me the opportunity to gather feedback on a n'ewe project..the 'Baaa Stool'...

The 'Baaa Stool'

More to come on this particular product...it's in development at the moment.  The footstool frame is crafted from locally felled beech and finished with the cutest turned sheep's hoove feet. It's covered in real sheepskin which is removeable so it can be cleaned.  I'm hoping to have the design and packaging finished in time for Christmas.  They'll make great presents!  If you're interested in reserving one please drop me a line and I'll add you to the list :)

It was great to meet so many upholstery fans and to talk chairs and sofas all day. I'm looking forward to working on the many projects that were discussed...I should be busy until Christmas!

I'd love to post some pictures of the show itself but I didn't leave my stand all day.  Big thanks to Clare from Accord PR for suggesting I go, to Joan and the team at J A Milton for lending me the half done demonstration chair and to my lovely hubby for being the Logistics, Maintenance and Catering department for the day  It's a family business!
