Thanks for the welcome. I have found sham pillow instructions and can do that. Yes, I can drop the feed on my old portable Singer. I need a pattern. Even when I did a quilt with my mom way back when and "by hand" She designed a pattern. She took the lead as she had artistic ability.If any of you learned all your sewing skills and needlepoint too from your mom or another close person you know how blessed you were/are to work side-by-side. She is gone and I finally will go it alone 30 years later without the "looks good, Toots" I got from her. Thanks again for your help and questions. Ordered a sample of the material from The On-line Fabric Store.I hope they have a good reputation. Hugs, Maggie

Thanks. I actually ordered my pieces in 2 stages, sofas then chairs. Seeing the sofas in the room helped us select the fabric for the chairs. The fabric on the pillows looked quite interesting in the samples, with wavy patterns in 4-5 colors, but once on the pillows it looks monochromatic. So I'm very glad we waited before ordering the chairs (their in-house designer had suggested we use the same fabric on chairs & pillows). I am still looking for additional pillows that'll bring some pop.

I grow ‘William Allen Richardson’ in San Marcos, Tx. It was a band sized plant from Vintage. The plant is now approx 6’ wide x 4.5’ tall- disease resistant, heat tolerant and a free bloomer. His blooms lighten up significantly in the strong Tx sun.

This frame is most likely imported by EA. But thats not necessary a negative, because most larger manufacturers: even high end is using plywood frames. Very few imported chairs will be of plywood. As this parson's chair will not work well with a plywood frame. Webbing is ok, sinuous wire springs would have been better. But overall its a decent chair, depending on what the density of the foam will tell how long it will last before sagging. From EA website: Solid hardwood frame has double-doweled, glued and screwed joinery and 1¼" thick rails in load-bearing areas. Web suspension made of top-quality materials, tested for strength and durability, provides long-lasting constant support Foam and fiber fill provides firm support and minimizes body impressions.
