Scarecrows

The scarecrows from "One Man's Trash" are coming along nicely.  I was in Michigan again  today and had the opportunity to visit the Buchanan Scarecrows.  They are absolutely phenomenal!  I brought some more batting scraps and was allowed in the workshop to see these works of art.  I saw scarecrows of all sizes (from very small children to large adults)  dressed up like everything/one  imaginable. 

I was told the Buchanan Scarecrows will be on display as of the first week in September for all to enjoy.  I can't wait to go for a ride and see all of them posed and displayed around town.  My sisters, my daughter and I plan to look at the various scarecrows around town then stop for lunch in one of the restaurants there.

Pictures of the scarecrows as they are being displayed have been promised to me and I will post them as soon as I receive them.  That way, you will be able to see some of the scarecrows even if you cannot take the ride to see them in "person"!

I now have an urge to design a scarecrow of my own.  I am thinking (I know you see this one coming...) of a quilter scarecrow!  I can picture her sitting on the bench on my front porch, with her feet up on a bale of hay, working on her latest project.

Happy Quilting,
Laurel
