Reupholstery
Last summer we had an extended rainy spell during which time the deck furniture cushions were piled on the settee and covered up with a special cover, which, as it turned out was the perfect spot for a packrat maternity nest. the resulting damage was pretty extensive. It seemed like a good idea to reupholster them when I found some nice outdoor fabric on sale last fall. So that is what I have been doing lately.
The tan is the old fabric and the blue is the new. So far I have four backs finished and will start on the seats today. It actually goes pretty fast and I think it’s going to look pretty good when I’m done.
By the time the weather gets good again, I hope to be ready to be able to sit out and enjoy it!
I’m starting to NOT think packrats are so cute anymore.

If you decide not to like your pack rat quilt — I have the perfect spot for it. My KS grandson and his dad go to a farm in the country to pack rat hunt. It amazes me that no matter how many they shoot, there are a gazillion more!!! Love the print fabric! Such a fresh, clean look. Mmmmm, will you be storing the cushions someplace else now?? Gwynette

The packrat quilt is for sale and the way I’m feeling about packrats right now I’d cut you a good deal!
I’m not sure HOW I’ll store the new cushions – any ideas?
