I've been seeing some of the cutest stools
covered in grain sacks..
sugar sacks..
and I WANT ONE, TOO....
Aren't these adorable !
They all came from ANGIE'S PINS
Thanks, Angie, for all the inspiration...
♥
Oh, yes...I am wanting one of these cute stools..
but I don't have
a grain sack
or a sugar sack
or an Oooh LALA sack..
but I DO have...
a really pretty COFFEE SACK.
Of course,
the next thing I need is
well.....a stool.
hEY...
Close the front door !..I DO have a stool
way to the back of a closet....
and it's not JUST a stool...
it's an AWESOME stool..
MR. SWEET made this for me many years ago..
He got the pattern out of a magazine and I think it is a great stool..
So great that I am linking with
WHITE WEDNESDAY to show it off. :)
Now, the shape of this top is making me nervous thinking
about covering it....
REAL nervous..
I've wanted to cover it for years..
looked and looked for a fabric that I really loved.
Just never found it...until now.
Also...as I say..it looks like it is gonna be a job with all those little points...
maybe more talent needed than I can muster.

I think it sure would be cute...

And oh my gracious, how pretty, pretty, pretty it is here on your blog! Just lovely! And your "Grands" are beeeeeeeeeeeutiful! Enjoy being able to show pics of all of them, my Dear. Enjoy it. Enjoy it. Enjoy it. -pout- 'Cause as you know, I can't. -moan- -sigh- -sob- :-)
BJ! Of course you can do it!!! You have so much creativity and know how! For heaven sakes, look... you stared a blog and a beloved one at that! If you can do that almost anything else will be a breeze.
Show us the finished product! We are all rooting for you!
xo Yvonne
Oooops. That last -POUT- should have come AFTER I said; "...cause as you know, I can't."
Oh, you can so do it! If you want I can send you an email on how to do it with some tips. Love the little stool he made for you. I think he likes you! It will look so cute in the bean sack too! Get a little french gimp for the edge. Let me know if you need some help!
Of COURSE, you CAN!!!
You betcha! Lovin' that cute little stool, looking forward to seeing what you come up with:@)
Of course, you can...just go for it...and the granddaughters are all lovelies!! Can't wait to see the stool!!
Nothing you can't handle! Can't wait to see the finished product.
OH YEAH BABY, you can do it! I have faith in you! Go for it girly! HUGS!
You can do it BJ. Don't worry about those points, if it were me, I would go ahead and just get a round piece of foam, cover it and ignore the points. If all else fails you can do that:>)
Of course you can. That stool has a wonderful pattern.
When you pull the fabric over the round foam, I think the points are going to show a bit and that'll be perfect.
if anyone can... you can BJ! can't wait to see the finished product!
I vote YES! Can't wait to see what you do.
You can do it BJ! Remember that awesome table that you created. I can't wait to see it.
hugs

Well, let me ask you this- Did you DRINK all that wine in those bottles before you started? Cuz..I think it will be really hard working those points if you did imbibe!
I can't wait to see it done and I think the coffee sack is just a grand idea~ xo Diana
Can't wait to see the finished project. If you don't like it, you can always strip it down and do it a different way. Go for it!!
Go for it! I know you can do this and you'll have us all wishing for pointy-topped stools!
ohhhh so cool!
I now have stuck in my brain...
You can do it, you can do it, you can do it Cinderella!
Cant wait to see what you did!
If anyone can you can! You are a very clever gal, you'll take on the project like a pro......And how special is that stool, made by Mr. Sweet!.............

I can hardly wait to see the end product. that stool is too adorable for words and the sack you have is perfect. Go for it girl!

YES YOU CAN!!! I covered a couple of stools last year with coffee sacks. Here is a link:
http://lavenderhillstudio.blogspot.com/2010/08/burlap-bench-and-foot-stool.html
My suggestion is to use foam on the seat top and then cover with batting around the foam and over the sharp corners before you add the burlap.
It will be great BJ!
Of course you can! I am so anxious to see what kind of creative pattern you will come up with.
Those Girls are Lovelllly!
Rita
YES YOU CAN!...can't wait to see!
