Great Scarecrow! I'd go with something at his feet, chicks, corn or leaves.

Love the scarecrow, he's a cutie! Great job :thumbup:
I can remember seeing at some time in JoAnn Fabric some material with Indian corn on it or google corn fabric am sure there is some on ebay. Fuse that around his feet and some fall leaves too a couple of little chicks....and as someone else suggested patched knees...all self respecting scarecrows wear patches :wink: Also if it is going to be used as a wall hanging you could attach some raffia to the corn for the husk part. Can't wait so see how you finsih him up. :D

I think that he would look good with some straw coming out of his sleaves and a hole in his jeans (applique maybe?) And he needs a pumpkin or something in his field to guard.

He is really adorable and I know you are going to have fun embellishing it up for fall.

Love your Scarecrow!!!!! So many good suggestions, I can't wait to see what you decide to do!!!! :D :D :D

I can't wait to see what I decide to do either! :lol: :lol: So many great ideas, I should have thought of at least one of them. Working on quilting a lap quilt but may have to work on scarecrow tomorrow! thanks so much for all the great ideas!



Ninnie in NC

lol, ninnie, thinking he, KNEW what time it is...time to get him a blow up, scarecrow lady!!!! and something for the stiffness in his joints from being pinned to wall so long, lol!! yeah, what man, wouldn't want a few chicks around his feet...and if they had some corn to nibble on, maybe they wouldn't peck the stuffin outa him! :lol:

oh I wouldn't be a nuthin
My head all full of stuffin,...

You are absolutely right! So tell me QC, just how much do you like The Wizard of Oz? :lol: ok, now I have put lap quilt on hold and will get scarecrow some chicks!

Maybe a chicken pecking on an ear of corn at his feet. That quilt is a real cutie :!: :!:

Tee Hee, so funny

NOW, I love the wizard of Oz..but there was a time, that witch really scared me. You'd think I wouldn't have watched it, but every year, right as rain, I did. I liked all the characters, but thought as a child, I was like the cowardly lion, now, more like the tin man, lol!
So glad you posted him, and he's going to get some much needed attention. Grandma always said, "two heads are better than one." and in this case, many :wink:
