I'm not sure how many of you know this, but Quilt-agious in Mukwonago was the first shop I taught tuffets at (in fact, it's the first shop I taught at in Wisconsin). So of course I love to go back there to teach. It's still a fairly young shop (a couple of years old) but you'll find a great assortment of beautiful fabrics if you go there. They have an especially great Kaffe Fassett collection, and lots of patriotic and modern fabrics. 

And of course, they have great tuffets! And great tuffet students. Here's the latest batch...

I've just scheduled two more tuffet classes at Quilt-agious this year, Sundays, October 16 and 23, and Thursdays, November 17 and December 1. Call them at (262) 363-3066 to sign up!

Every once in a while I get a request to make a custom tuffet for someone. Well, the client in this case sent over this adorable elephant fabric. This whole tuffet only uses three fabrics (four if you count the button), and they're a heavy weight, either outdoor fabric or at the very least, upholstery fabric. 

When it came to choosing feet, I didn't want to take away from the rest of the tuffet, so I asked the client if I could paint them. I happened to have a set of Stephanie feet with finishes that didn't match, so I sanded them and used chalk paint. I think they came out great! Since then I have added some unfinished feet to my inventory (I'll link them up as soon as I add them to the store), which I plan to use on an upcoming tuffet soon.
