Annie’s Flower Power Footstool – Square: Rug Hooking Pattern

Hooked by Nancy Weaver, Landsdowne, VA

Nancy Weaver sent me this photo of her completed hooking for Annie’s Flower Power Footstool – Square. She started this stool in September of 2011 at the Rugs by the Sea Rug Camp in Cape May, NJ.

This is the first one that I’ve seen finished with a gold background. It really makes the motifs pop and is still dark enough to show up the Queen Anne’s Lace. The colors are really fun. Good job, Nancy.


Here is the gold that Nancy used for her background:
Y2 Soft Gold Plaid - Most Useable
Y2 Soft Gold Plaid - Most Useable
If you tried to use yellow in a rug, you already know how hard it can be to find the right one. This is the most useable gold I have found. Works with most color combinations. One of my favorites. For a bit more zing, see Y1.
Available Qty: 18
Price: $24.00

Make your own rug hooked footstool

Coming Soon! I have several footstool patterns available. In a few months I will be posting complete instructions, including videos, on how to build your own using simple 2x4s, plywood and foam. There will be a complete cutting diagram for the wood and the foam.I will also have instructions on how to finish your hooking so you can complete your rug hooked footstool. I already have a hooked sample to use as an example. Thank you, Gail.


Have you hooked this pattern?

I would love to see a photo. Please let me know if it is OK to share it on this website, if not I will keep it private. Be sure to include your full name and home town. If you have any questions or comments, contact me using the Contact Me link in the menu above.

First Place!

Flower Power, designed by Cindi Gay and hooked by Nancy Weaver at the September 2011 Rugs by the Sea Workshop in Cape May, NJ. The color palette was changed from the original design to go with Nancy’s color scheme. Nancy has been hooking since late 2006 and is a member of the Goose Creek Ruggers Guild in Leesburg, VA and Mason-Dixon Region III, ATHA.

Nancy wrote: About 65 hookers gathered in Sterling, VA on this past Saturday (Jan 21, 2012), a very icy, cold, slippery day, to hook, eat fattening cookies, and shop (we had about six vendors). Susan Feller braved the elements from WVA and others came from NC and the VA area. We always have a rug show, as well as many, many door prizes. When they announced the first place winner–Flower Power by Nancy Weaver–well, I almost fell off my chair! Picture attached. Several of my cookie recipes are also attached–the waffle cookies are a breeze to make, kids love to bake them, too!
