I had a wonderful addition to my living room yesterday.
MOTH’s parents had a chair and that they asked if we had room in our shed to store it.
The chair belonged to MOTH’s grandmother and it is the chair in which she used to sit stitching. When I heard this I immediately said no – we didn’t have room in our shed, but that I would make room for it in the living room.
MOTH’s mum informed me that it wasn’t very pretty and had a bit of a split in the leather at the front and asked did I really want to put it in the house?
The split in the leather gives it character, and just knowing that it was used as a stitching chair (I’ve yet to see some of her handiwork) means a lot to me. It’s a big comfortable chair and I’ve placed it in my stitching corner, and will use it as a stitching chair too!
Perhaps some of her mojo will rub off on me 
Grandma's Chair
I love tradition and I love knowing that MOTH’s Grandma sat in this chair to create. I’ll be sure to post pictures of her work when I finally see it!
Oh, I just love that stitching chair and the history that goes with it. Sit and stitch there! Absolutely.
Nice work on PL – be prepared though – there are lots of huge motifs but it is filled with gorgeous small things in between to give you a break.
That is a beautiful chair.
FILs furniture is being handed out to the family now he has passed away. There is one chair that I know was my mother-in-laws stitching and knitting chair, I really covet that chair. Unfortunatly I’m just an in-law and her two daughters get higher priority on the chair. Still maybe just maybe they might now want it ::fingers crossed::
