Flying Scarecrow Pillow Free E-Pattern By Kaaren Johnston of The Painted Quilt

Who can resist a scarecrow - especially a flying one? Not me. Sounds like a perfect Fall decoration to me. So, I was happy to see that Kaaren Johnston had a wonderful e-pattern on her The Painted Quilt blog showing you how to make a flying scarecrow pillow. This is definitely going on my Fall decorating "to do" list.

First Friday Freebie #26 - Flying Scarecrow

Here's what Kaaren had to say about her pattern: It’s the First Friday of the month, time to release my 26th FFF design for you to make and enjoy.

I’m not quite sure whether I’m too early or too late with this design for us here in the Northern Hemisphere…but for our friends in the Southern Hemisphere who are just starting their autumn season, this one’s for you gals! For the rest of us, it’s never too early to get an early start on making things to add to our fall decorating stuff…right?

This month’s design is called Flying Scarecrow.

Autumn Blessing Free Quilt Pattern By Kaaren Johnston of The Painted Quilt

Just when I think I couldn't possible add anything else to my Fall decorating "to do" list along comes another mini wall quilt that is just too charming to resist. Kaaren Johnston has yet another charming pattern on her The Painted Quilt blog showing you how to make an "Autumn Blessings" mini quilt. My husband may divorce me, but this is definitely going on my Fall "to do" list.

First Friday Freebie #13 - Autumn Blessings

Here's what Kaaren had to say about her pattern: It sure would be nice to be posting this month’s First Friday Freebie on a cool, crisp Autumn day but that’s not going to happen until tomorrow. For the last four days, we’ve been experiencing record breaking temperatures for this time of year in the mid to high 90’s and along with the oppressive humidity, it’s been brutal.

This month’s FFF is an Autumn-inspired mini quilt called Autumn Blessings. It combines both pieced and stitched blocks with some wool appliquéd elements. I had the best time not only creating it but also when adding the embellishments. I could easily have gotten carried away and found that I really had to restrain myself. I hope you have fun making it your own.

Wool Crazy Pincushion Free Tutorial By Kaaren Johnston of The Painted Quilt

I just love working with wool or wool felt. And, I also LOVE pincushions. If you do, too then you'll be happy to know that Kaaren Johnston has a wonderful tutorial on her The Painted Quilt blog showing you how to make a wool crazy pincushion. I just LOVE it.

Wool Crazy Pincushion Tutorial
Wool Crazy Pincushion Base Tutorial

Here's what Kaaren had to say about her tutorial: At the outset, let me say that all the wool that I used came from scraps that I have saved over the years. Whenever I work with wool, I save all the bits and pieces and store them by color in separate zip lock bags. When I’m working on a project that requires small pieces of wool in a specific color, I just reach into the plastic bin that holds all my baggies of scrap wool and pull out the appropriate bag.

If for whatever reason you don’t have any wool or you might be allergic to wool (perish the thought), you can also make this pincushion in the exact same way that I am about to show you using fabric. The instructions are identical.
