Button Flower Medley
A 6 in. square was designed to showcase how hooking with velvet, silk yarn, silk ribbon and wool looked. Then I decided it would be great as a block of 4 for a mat or pillow. As I study it now I think it would be a great runner, too. I like the outside border and imagined it using the colors of your motif in a hit or miss style. It would also work with border done in black & white and create a very different look. So, lots of possibilities! You could do each block the same or mix up the same colors and use differently in each block with maybe the same color for the button for continuity.

Infinity
This pattern was designed for my Color Planning Class at the Spring Has Sprung Workshop & Hook In. (see Classes for more info) for a more complex Color Harmony. This pattern has endless possibilities for fun in colors, textures and embellishments.It is a design that would work well for using up your worms. Whether you prefer Traditional Folk Art or Contemporary this pattern will do both well. What a beautiful pillow or purse this would be!

Confetti Border: To begin your confetti border, hook 1 row of your base border color all around. In the second row hook 3-6 loops of one of your colors form the center of your rug, then hook 3 -6 loops of your border color. Repeat for this second row mixing up your colors. It works best if you are consistent with the number of loops for your confetti colors and border color. For 3 rd row hook one row using border color only. For 4th row repeat the 2nd row of confetti colors. Your last row should be only your border color.

If you love pillows but don't know how to sew, my friend and amazing seamstress Pat does a beautiful job. As a seamstress myself, I can say with authority her work is beautiful. Contact her at:

Button Flower II
Button Flower is a great choice for the begining rug hooker or if you just want a simple fast project. For a project that won't require a lot of thinking; choose 2 colors for the flower, one for outline and one for fill, choose 1 color for center of flower and use that too for your border. Then choose 1 color for your background and that's it! It would be a fast project too to use a 7 value swatch for a little shading or if you're just experimenting with this technique. Or, you can go fun and funky with bright colors and add textures such as sari ribbon, silk yarn or velvet. Then turn it into a pillow for a small splash of color on your bed or chair. We have a 6 inch. version of this hooked in the shop showcasing velvet, my friend Ania's shimmer & metallic's, silk ribbon and silk yarn and it's beautiful.

Popcorn & Peanuts I
Originally drawn as a Zentangle which I love to do early in the morning when I am the most relaxed. They are fun and often quite complex. I thought this one would translate well into a full size pattern. There are three sizes because I thin you can have so much fun with color and texture with this pattern. The small has been hooked by me for a mini class on using fancy fibers and embellishments. It was a fun project!
