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. |
