IT’S MY DAY!!!!

I’m so happy to have you here today for the Mae Flower Blog Hop. This event has so many wonderful designers sharing their patterns with all of you. Today is so special for me as this is my design day. For this day, I have selected to share with all of you my Sunflower Summer pattern.

I designed this pattern last summer while I was visiting my mom in Texas. I was there for 3 months and was missing my home of Kansas. Sunflowers are the state flower of Kansas.

As you can see, this sunflower has 2 rows of petals to make it really fluffy and the center is made to look more realistic. I used dowel rods that are crocheted around so the weight of the flower didn’t cause it to droop.
