King Quilt & Queen Felt

Jennifer is a long time quilter and Marse loves wool and felting. These interests were used to advantage for decorating two chairs, King Quilt and Queen Felt.   The chairs we used inspired a sort of "throne" approach to the embellishment.  The King Quilt chair is made mostly of layers of fabric "yo-yos" with a seat of layers of wool felt. The Queen Felt chair back is encased in a sleeve of wool felt circles with a seat of wool circles, embellished with fabric yo-yos.  When you sit on the chairs, we hope you feel regal!
