Ta-DA!

I have finished the hooked footstool for my mother-in-law and am very pleased with the final result. The hooking was not stressful, but I was a little worried about getting it to fit the footstool exactly. Turned out to be a little bit short on the sides so I ended up hooking four more background rows on the outside edges and that seemed to do the trick.

The bun feet just unscrewed so it was easy to staple the cover onto the bottom and then just screw them back on.

The seams on each corner turned out pretty well too - I just whipped the two edges together with yarn.

This is what it looked like when the hooking was finished, but before I started shaping it to fit the stool.

I'm anxious to give it to her and see if she likes it.

Hmm..... now I'm wondering what my next project will be......
