Hooray - the enduring and depressing heat that has been suffocating the Midwest for the last two months has abated for a few hours. The humidity vanished, the night was actually cool and this morning's coffee on the porch was pure joy. After reveling in the physical comfort and the colorful sunrise, I rose to begin a morning of chores but not before admiring the coordinating chair cushions and table cloth that accented the pretty iron table and chairs. When the furniture was new, I searched fruitlessly for cushions - tropical themes, stripes and loud colors seemed to be the only option. A trip to the local fabric store was the last ticket and there I found a lovely green-on-white toile. Its pastoral scenes and cool colors were a perfect complement to the vining flower pattern on the chairs. Thick quilt padding (leftover from another project) was used for cushioning in the chair pads and ties were attached to hold them in place, while the tablecloth featured a centered hole for the umbrella. Simple construction and a simple look equalled a serene effect for morning muses!.jpg)
