Scarecrow time

It's a scarecrow thing!  I am thrilled to have had some time in the past couple weeks to work on a few new things. And working with panels is fun to see what I can come up with.  

I got a nice start on it and then he became a UFO while I worked on a few other things. He sat in a corner patiently until one day he said 'would you quilt me already'!  I listened;)

After squaring up the little scarecrow I framed it with a black/gray marbled fabric and stenciled on the leaves.  I actually stenciled the onto the fabric and after drying added to the scarecrow...I didn't want to mess up and then have to rip!

Next came the green and orange checkerboard border and the cute little pinwheels and circled everything with the black/gold metallic cork like fabric. The orange and green fabrics were all from the scrap bin. Even though it didn't make a dent it was nice to use some:)

Obviously the quilting is a fun part for me too!

Isn't he just a sweet scarecrow, not sure how many birds he will scare!

Oh Scrap!

1 panel=3 wall hangings-picture heavy

I stretched one panel into three wall hangings. 

1. Here is a scarecrow and apple cider sign that I framed with checkerboard and pinwheels. Also added some green sashing around them and finished off with a gold border. 

 Did you notice the real acorns laying beside it?  They keep falling like crazy on my deck, plink plink plink!

 Some cute diamonds in the gold border and Xing in the checkerboard with stippling in the apple cider sign.

 Isn't this just the cutest scarecrow you have ever seen?  An echo swirl so it looks like the wind blowing. 

A little continuous curve in the pinwheel with SID around all the blocks.

2.  Three little fall pictures with checkerboard and striped borders with a bigger green border all around.

A freehand allover loops and leaves make for quick but fun quilting.

3.  The last two pictures on this panel-The Harvest and the full scarecrow make up this third wall hanging.  Simple checkerboard and pinwheels set this little guy off nicely.  My version of McTavishing in the scarecrow panel itself.  

And would you look at that I forgot to quilt this little gold pinwheel-I'll get to that tomorrow! Hate when that happens:(

 I hope that I have given you some food for thought to get those panels out that are languishing in your closet, drawer or shelf and have some fun!!!
