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.

Fortune Teller Quilt

Last year when I participated in a blog hop, called Witchy Stitchy Blog Hop another blog hop participant, Charlene, from Just Because Quilts shared her Fortune Teller quilt.  She mentioned at the time that if anyone wanted her pattern for the applique to email her and I did. I finally got around to making the quilt and I love it! Thank you Charlene, I love this quilt!

I was going to work on this among other applique projects at my applique group, but then when this Covid-19 started and everything was cancelled, I decided I needed to work on applique projects at home by myself and this was one of them I made.

The tie part of the headband/scarf I made 3-D and sewed a button to hold it in place. You can see a bit of a close-up in the next photo below.

I added some hot fix crystals to her finger to look like a ring.

More crystals were fused for a necklace.

I used all batik fabrics to make this quilt.

Flowers in a Pot Quilt

I made this quilt several months ago. The leaf blocks that surround the quilt were blocks from a group I used to belong to where we exchanged blocks. The appliqued flowers were inspired from a quilt that I saw in a book, but I changed it all and made it different. Pin It Now!

Halloween Quilt

I made this quilt last year in 2008.

Wall Quilt

I made this in the colors and most of the fabrics that were leftover from making my bed quilt. The bed quilt I made several years ago. I made the blocks for this wall quilt about half the size the pattern called for. I added some round and heart buttons that my daughter made for me out of polymer clay when she was in high school.

African Mask Quilt

This was made using 8 batik African Mask fabrics. I fused batik fabrics down and machine quilted over it all. Kind of designed this as I went along.

Asian Circle Play Quilt

I made this in the quilt-as-you-go reversible method. I added appliqued circles in 2 sizes to the quilt and more cross-hatch quilting. I was inspired by the book, Circle Play by Reynola Pacusich. I haven't photographed the reverse side of the quilt yet. I will add the reverse side of the quilt later.
