Wool Appliqué Scarecrow Wall Quilt (I'm Falling for You Blog Hop)

Thanks to Joan of Moosestash Quilting for hosting this Blog Hop: I'm Falling for You. 

I started this scarecrow wool appliqué a year or 2 ago (I can't even remember, since the years are flying by). I found it in my pile of UFO's. The center scarecrow appliqué was the only thing done, but I still needed to make it into to something. I decided to add a border with the word Autumn on the right side. The lettering is felt, so I hand blanket stitched around the letters, like I did around all the rest of the appliqué shapes too. I added some rickrack, 4 flower buttons and then sewed the backing and birthed it. I topstitched around the wall quilt and hand quilted around the appliqué shapes. 

Scarecrows are my favorite Autumn decoration.

I used a variety of wool, both felt and woven wool and even some knit sweaters I washed in hot water and felted (or actually fulled, which is the correct term).

Rickrack and added buttons.

The letters are felt and hand blanket stitched in place.

All hand stitched, even the quilting around the appliqué motifs.

Hanging on the wall.

Thanks for visiting me and now check out all the other blogs to see what Fall/Autumn projects they came up with.

  7. Your scarecrow is so cute with his red kerchief and being so careful that the crow doesn’t get upset. They look like good friends. All your hand sewing is beautifully done. It’s a delightful Fall wall hanging.
