Blooming Flower Cushions Ta-da!

Hello Dear Friends,
Yes,you read it right! This time I have two blooming flower cushions, a pattern by attic24 .

The colourful one is a long time pending project, I crocheted the back and the front and tossed it away and forgot about it because I did not like the circle I crocheted for its back. Then yesterday I gave it a second thought and I gave it a try ; it is not perfect in shape but it turned out to be OK.

 

 I have made the pink one to match my 'Beautiful Blanket' .

Have a lovely week-end!

hexagon tutorial

Hello Dear Friends,
After loosing my printed out pattern for my 'Beautiful Blanket', I decided to write down a tutorial so if I forget the pattern while working on other projects I have a reference to return  to.I am sure I have found this pattern on pinterest and it was from a blog in Russian but the pattern is originally Japanese because there was a graphic pattern and Japanese writings on the scanned pattern . I searched and searched the Internet to find the pattern again but in vain. So here it is :
