I made a pieced circle for the scarecrow head. I used the tutorial you gave about using freezer paper and a glue stick. I traced the bottom of a spray baste can for the size. The hair, hands and feet are free motion thread painting, also the face I did free motion. A bit of thread painting on fabric for the bird nest. I started with the head and kept putting fabrics around until I was a little larger than what I needed. Then trimmed to size when I was done with the appliques.
I bought the April/May issue of the Quilter Magazine. It has a patten for the branch with the birdnest. It turns out is was too large for my block so I sketched it smaller. I hope that isn't illegal. I am giving the magazine credit for the design and I am enjoying the rest of the magazine!
A bird has made a nest on scarecrows hand. That was my idea but I am sure I am not the first person that has ever done this same thing. Cat wants the bird but dog is keeping guard!
I have sewn my two sections together. I edited my post so I could stick the picture in.
