Sunflowers and Crows Footstool Pattern
Jane wanted a footstool pattern with sunflowers and crows that she could hook in a large cut, 9 or 9.5. After some fiddling and talking back and forth, this is the first of the new sunflower footstool patterns.

The seam for one of the sunflowers becomes its stem. After the footstool is sewn up, you have to hook two rows to fill in the space, perfect for a sunflower stem.
Possible ideas to modify this rug hooking pattern:
- Add more dropped petals. I only drew one in, but you could do more.
- Add silly straw hats to the crows
- Hook an intricate pattern inside the center of the flowers
- Hook it in non-traditional sunflower colors, such as purple

Cindi finished the rug, they loved it! I think it is my favorite of my three sons wedding rugs. Thank you for all your help, will miss seeing you in May hope your class is a good one. We are all going to MaryAnn Duddy’s for three days that week.
Cindi, is this footstool pattern (sunflower/crows) put together using the instructions on your website for previous footstool patterns? Is putting the footstool together, legs, wood, foam, doable for someone who’s not a woodworker?
Thanks…Betty
Same format, same instructions. If you need help, work with an upholsterer. They can build what you need and get it all padded. Refer them to the construction instructions.
I would still sew up the side seams yourself since upholsterers don’t usually understand rug hooking. Send it back to them for the stapling and final finishing. Prices vary quite a bit so shop around. Be sure to ask them if they’d like additional work like this. I’d be happy to list them as a resource in the footstool instructions.
The other option is to have a local handyman (check the senior centers) to build the wooden frame. You’ll have to find and cut the foam to size and finish it yourself.
Doing it all yourself may not be cheaper. The foam is shockingly expensive.
I’m anxiously awaiting the video on adding the hooked piece to the wooden frame of the footstool. When can we expect this?????
I have to learn how to do the video editing first. When I first shot the video, I had the help lined up but it fell through. It is a lot more time intensive than I thought.
