My 86yo grandmother and her handmade needle point chair. 25 years in the making and 14 threads per inch. She used to pick up road kill from the side of the road to compare thread colours. She also bought a peacock for colour comparison. I am not allowed to sit in it.

Looks amazing. I'd be scared to let myself or kids anywhere near this chair.

Damn right you're not allowed to sit in it!

Now I'm imagining your grandma walking into JoAnne Fabrics with a dead raccoon or some shit and holding it up to the threads to find the perfect match.
