Upholstery Class at Spruce

Clar and Dixie

A few weeks ago, we did some teaching at the Spruce workshop, and boy, did we have a good time.  We had four fun personalities which led to many funny times. We actually got a little work done, too. Everyone left with a much different chair than they walked in with.  The makeovers were rather dramatic and very well executed. Take a look!

Sherri and Caroline came all the way from New Orleans to transform these twin chairs.  They were quite rickety, but after a few repairs and a little restyling they had an incredible transformation.

Teresa Marie charmed us instantly with her Scottish accent and sweet disposition. Since her chairs only had seat upholstery, Teresa knocked out two chairs, and Pixie helped!

Dixie was so dedicated to learning upholstery, she even spent her birthday in class with us. I’d say this chair makes a good birthday gift to herself.

Of course I didn’t forget to make a sweet treat for these hard workers.  In support of Amanda’s newly discovered gluten intolerance, I made a flourless chocolate torte.  This is one of my favorites.  A big thank you to all of these ladies for spending a couple days with us and allowing us to impart our upholstery knowledge.  Having great pupils always makes this class a pleasure.
