HI Karen

I thought I made my posting id to be Tessy OH but it is showing Cozy cottage slipcovers. How do I change this?

Job in St Louis

Recent job that I did in St Louis in September.

It was out of Sunbrella Fabric

Whining about (lack of) pinning speed

Pinning on-site... I'm too d@mn slow!! It takes FOREVER, I HATE IT. I'm so frustrated. I feel like crying. I ended up using a weird combination today of double-on-half and single-on-whole just to get out of there, HOPING I can duplicate the single parts later.

How do Calico Corner contractors pin more than one piece a day? How do they get in and out so fast?

Also, for the first time a finished slipcover with my default zipper (to the skirt welt only, not through) DIDN'T FIT a chair with T-cushion and big puffy back! Very embarrassing, folded it up and promised to make it all better.

Did I mention I feel like crying?

Linda's Chair Took 2nd Place

Linda's entry was a puzzle to start with....

A recliner to cover, and all she saw prior to the job was a small swatch of fabric.

It was amazing how she tackled this project.

Thanks Linda for entering the contest.

Slow business

Is it the humidity? *pant* Cushion/slipcover orders are at an all-time low. I do, however, have orders for FIVE costumes (!). All ASAP, naturally.

How's everyone else doing? Swamped to the point of asphyxiation? Watching the grass grow?

Woo-Hoo!!! Posted... TWICE!!

Mere mortals may bow before me! - oh wait... everyone else already figured this out?

Never mind.

Just checking

Hey there, slipcover fans! Finally figured out how to use the [new] system (brain... slow... need... chocolate...).

It won't be a fluke if I manage to post TWICE - stay tuned.

Slipcover Summit 2008 will be in Indiana

Have you ever been to Indiana?

1st Day at the Slipcover Summit

Hey all

We have just finished up our first day at the Slipcover Summit in Boston.

I was hoping to post some photos, but am too tired.

We had 30 attend today ...

Bernice taught Pin Fitting all day.

Claudia did a business class and Angie taught High End..

Wow what a day.

Lunch was produced by Bernice's sisters and mother.

Hope to post photos tomorrow...

always
Karen

ps... wish you all were here with us.

welcoming new summit attendees

and wishing I was able to attend.

As you may not know, I am recovering from recent surgery and unable to travel or sit up for such an event at this time.

I wish everyone the best fun and the most creative time you can have, and I hope to hear from those who attend so I can get the details.

slipcoverlady@juno.com for the reports people, don't leave me out !
