Sorting thru your stash, why not pick out some scraps & make scarecrows to applique? I'm thinking of a yoyo for a pumpkin head.
Decorate a tea towel for a special friend or your own kitchen? Cute on a kids sweatshirts too. I'll show you what I come up with.

dotty,
I just love all your ideas. They make me want to go make something. Thank you for your inspiration.

Dotty, I wish you were my next door neighbor!

Wouldn't that be fun!!

Dotty - Great idea!! I definitely want to see your creation!
I have to make a few Fall gifts and I think I might follow your lead :) - wish we were neighbors too :) we would have sooo much fun!

Does any one else have any great Scarecrow patterns or ideas?

Some ideas:
.Make little yarn dolls & dress them in scraps. Lapel pin!
.Appliques...
.In school, I collect gatorade bottles, cover with scraps. Add twig arms, styofoam ball head or mini pumpkin. Embellish with all those cute things they sell in crafts stores!
.Stuff a 6" circle for a head, secure with rubber band.
Scrappy hair. Glue to empty toilet paper roll, also covered with scraps, add buttons, etc. Place card decorations or just to keep-the-kids-busy.

great ideas
