a rush seat for the rocking chair











After over a year and a half in limbo, I finally dragged this rocker downstairs last weekend determined to get the rush seat finished.
I used up the first roll of fiber rush and had to start on another roll I had on hand--wouldn't you know they were not quite the same, so if you look closely you can see the difference.  I decided not to worry about it and to just enjoy the fact that the rocker now has a sturdy seat on which I can sit and rock, and that I can cross this off my long list of projects in progress. 

Besides, I already have a wonderful punch needle pattern I've started for a seat cushion...there's no end to my starting of projects, I'm afraid.

  3. I once fixed a rush seat by replacing it with a woven tape seat. I was so satisfied when it was done. Great job actually tackling the rushed seat. It is beautiful.

    1. Thanks Cathie! I'm actually wondering if my rocker might have had a woven tape seat...It has a lot of staple marks on the second rung down.

  7. My mom used to cane chairs, but she never attempted a rush seat. Your work is always beautiful. I'm sure over time and with use the colors will mellow and not be noticeable. Thank you for sharing this.
