Quilters are creative people. Most are involved in multiple crafts, or have at least tried other crafts. Our quilts may keep us warm, but they also add colour and pattern to our houses. They are also integral to our home decorating. For years I have been looking for a new footstool for my loungeroom. I had seen images of tuffets on Pinterest, so was excited to see one “in the flesh” while away on tour in America. They looked so professional that I had to try to make one. It would involve patchwork and decorating at the same time. And the best thing... I could choose my own fabrics!

Tuffets come in round and square shapes.
