I love cute little children's chairs...and, especially, red ones!

| This little rocking chair was thrifted. I only paid five dollars for it. I scrubbed it clean and, then, began brainstorming about how I could add a little bit of personality to it. |

| Redwork embroidery is my favorite needlework. I enjoy taking my stitching along on car trips and on camping vacations. It is so relaxing! |

| I used leftover fabric scraps for the entire pillow. Redwork embroidery stitched on muslin. Bright red corduroy & Red plaid cotton fabric (scraps from a Christmas dress I made in the 70s) |

Congratulations on a sweet grandbaby!! So precious and a true gift from God!! I adore your little red rocker, and the red embroidery work is beautiful! xo Heather
I love the your little chair and the color red. My daughter is 5 and received a little wooden rocking chair from her grandparents the other day. She is so happy to have a chair just her size :) I am sure your little grandson will love his chair!
Cangrats on both the new Grand baby and the darling find! I love the red work pillow!
The red work is so much fun! Congrats on your awesome little find and your newest Grand Baby! Yay for squishy babies!
I was just thinking...that little pillow with the bike rider...looked like it could go for a boy!
...and there it was... you're getting a boy! YAY!
I have one of these little chairs...make that two, in my attic. I had 4 kids. I'm embarrassed to say, I've never gotten them down for the grands to play with or sit in or to fix up for them. Shame on me, huh?
...such a cute chair, your's turned out to be. Pat
Congratulations on the news of your latest grandchild ~ how exciting! Love your little red chair redo and I too love redwork:)

Congratulations on such a wonderful blessing. I can already see him sitting there enjoying my son's favorite book "The Big Red Barn". Your chair make over is very similar to one I am working on. I love your red work...smiles...Renee
Oh, Chenille, what a darling little red chair. The pillow is PERFECT for it. What a nice job you did on the redwork.

So sweet!! Can i ask where the embroidery is from? I really think i need a kitty pillow! Congrats! i found a sweet rocker at a tag sale, did i ever show you? Cant remember if i uploaded pic to flickr....
Carolyn, What wonderful news! Congratulations to all! Babies are always special blessings. He's gonna love that little rocker. My nephews had one much like it at Nanna's house (my Mom). They're both in their 20s now and pass it back and forth between their homes.
Love the little pillow you added. I love red embroidery, too, but have never tried it. You've inspired me to get my patterns out this winter!
What happy news! Babies are a blessing for the whole family! And guess what...I have that exact same red rocking chair! My dollie Wendy is rocking away in it right now! heehee! I love the sweet pillow you made for yours! And thank you for the sweet words of encouragement that you left on my blog. You are a very sweet friend! Hugs!
Such a lovely little rocking chair and the sweet cushion makes it even better. Its a very special time looking forward to a new baby in the family

Hi Carolynn,
Thank you so much for stopping to visit me. I just adore your little red rocking chair with the sweet pillow! Congrats on your new grandson and I wish your son and his wife all the best. Have a great weekend.
She's so sweet. I love kids chairs too. I think she looks so cute in red.
Carolyn
I have a little red chair too. Of course I don't have that sweet cushion though.
Carolynn, Congrats! Grandbabies are the best. I can picture him now holding that book in his chubby little hands. The pillow is so cute. Redwork is my favorite embroidery also. I started a Christmas stitchery in redwork last year. Had such a tiny bit left and I put it away. I must pull it out and finish it for this Christmas. Thanks for sharing your talent with SYC.
Hugs,
Jann
Congrats on the upcoming baby boy. I'm sure he will love rocking in that sweet chair. That is so cute. I love redwork too, Carolynn. The pillow finished the chair off perfectly!
What a beautiful apron!
That little cushion is adorable and perfect for that chair. I have a Grandson (my only Grand so far) and he is the love of my life! Such joy her brings. He is 17 months old and just so much fun! Enjoy every minute of them, they grow up so fast! Hugs, Linda
