Maybelle Flower Square chair pillow.

Welcome to my blog, if this is your first time visiting. 
Many of you have asked about the pattern, etc. for the flower square I made last week so here goes.
I first found the flower picture on google images, and that led me to http://www.myrosevalley.blogspot.ch/2013/06/maybelle-square-crochet-pattern.html

This blog showed how she used the Maybelle flower to make a square.  So I followed the links on her page, http://6ichthusfish.typepad.com/6ichthusfish/2010/05/maybelle-crochet-flower-free-pattern.html for the original pattern.  She kindly posts the pattern for both UK and USA terms.

The yarn I used for the flowers is Cherub Aran by Cascade Yarns.

 

The white yarn is Patons Canadiana.  All my yarn was purchased at http://www.chilliwackwool.com/  (the cutest yarn shop in town, but I might be biased, as it is owned by the aunt who taught me to crochet when I was in grade 4)

This chair is 20 years old, and from our original dining room set.  It's so solid that I couldn't bear to part with it, but was in much need of a paint job.  For the paint I used Americana Décor Chalky Finish in 'Vintage' (found at Walmart)

 

For the reverse of the pillow, I made granny squares to match the flowers.

Thanks for visiting!
