Our repaired and inspection-passed truck has been returned to us, after we paid a partial ransom for it. The rest of the well-earned blackmail money will be sent from Cooper's Lake after the first of August.

Finally I am doing a sewing project for Pennsic prep. Bossman has a Glastonbury chair which needs a seat cushion. Luckily I have a scrap of green & gold upholstery fabric which will do well to be one, and sufficient batting to fill it. If I'm lucky there will be a big enough piece of it left over that I can use it to craft the front of a back cushion for it also. The trick will be to figure out how to put the cushioning on the back rest since the chair is unfinished and so nails and brads as Right Out. If you have a suggestion, I'm all ears. Bossman suggests strapping it on at left & right sides, with Velcro to connect the strap pieces. As you'd expect, this disturbs my medieval Wa.

I got a fabulous bit of news from a friend. After too many miscarriages, her 10-year-old son will have a younger sibling when the weather turns. She's past the dangerous first trimester so it looks like smooth sailing from here. I am so thrilled for her!

Does the chair have a solid back, or slatted? (Most of the pictures I've seen are the latter.) Is the top of the back smooth, or does it have higher bits at the edges (I've seen some each way)?

Depending on the answers to those questions, it seem like loops or ties could serve you well.

What did they do?

The chair can be seen here: https://www.facebook.com/200135606693363/photos/a.325548564152066.79947.200135606693363/1518253021548275/?type=3&theater (I hope you do FB). If the seat back is reversed when putting it together, that coffering shows on the back while the front is flat within the framing. So we're talking about a cushion to position over the flat portion.
