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.
Here’s a little closer look…
The back…
And of course Frankie had to be right in the center of things while I was trying to write the instructions.
To download the PDF file which includes the photo, instructions and line drawing, please click HERE.
As my way of saying thanks to all of you for your support, kind words and gifts to me while I was undergoing cancer treatments, I’d like to give this month’s FFF sample to one of you. If you’d like to have this little Flying Scarecrow pillow come to live at your house, then please just tell me so in your comment at the bottom of this post. I will ship internationally so everyone is invited to enter the giveaway.
If your email address is not included in your profile, then you will come up as a no-reply blogger and I’ll have no way of getting in touch with you. As a result, you will not be included in the random draw which will take place on Monday, April 9th. To avoid this happening, just include your email address at the end of your comment.
Happy Easter!

I know it isn't considered smart to be the first entrant on a giveaway--the number one is never chosen, right? But I'll take my chances. Such a cute little fella, and I love all things fall! Thanks for the chance to send him flying my way! : )
What a loveley pillow Kaaren, gives me the impression you are getting better isn't it? I think I will try this pattern myself when autumn is coming near, now I have spring in my head and it's all around in nature, so you don't need to put my name in the give away....
I think he's lovely and I am sure my furry friends, Shylock and Hamlet, would love him to join them on the bed. Tell Frankie, they would keep him safe
Hello once again Kaaren, Glad to hear you are recovering well!! I am one of those gals in the Southern Hemisphere. We have not had a very hot summer here on the East Coast. We had lots of rain though. Lovely warm day today! More importantly it is cooling down at night. I love your First Friday of the month pattern - a flying scarecrow. I would love to win your sample pillow.

What a delightful little pillow Kaaren! I'll throw my hat into the ring! Really enjoying this time of year, and this little pillow would go nicely with my Autumn Leaf quilt - fingers crossed!!!
Hi Kaaren, nice to have you back. Thanks for the free pattern and of course I would love for your pillow to come and live with me in France! Hugs
Hi Kaaren,
I agree, it's great to have you back. I love the pillow and would love to win it. Fall colours are my favorite and what my mind wonders to first when picking something out.
We are hosting a family lunch today and have just hidden over 300eggs on our property for our grandchildren and niece and nephews to hunt.
Have a wonderful Easter weekend.

Your Flying Scarecrow is adorable! Your choice of fabrics and those little pieces of 'straw' peeking out are just precious. I would love for this little guy to fly into my home. You're so generous! And if he doesn't fly east, his double might be gracing my couch in the fall. Thank you!
I would love to have your pillow. It is so cute.
thankyou for your lovely friday freebie.
Would love to be included in your giveaway too.
Oooh he is cute and I would love a chance for him to live with me....
ghorton1@cox.net
He is adorable! Thank you so much. And I would be honored to have the original, hand stitched by YOU come live at my house.
Oh my gosh that is just adorable. It's so good to see you posting.
Thanks for the chance.
Happy Easter Kaaren!~ I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Oh, I'd LOVE to give this little scarecrow a home. He would be out year round at my home. ADORABLE!~ So nice to come to visit you and see your posts. Love seeing what you are up ~Franikie TOO!
I am so happy that you are feeling up to doing a First Friday Freebie again. You are so special to all of us!Now really girl, you know that there are only about a million quilters across the world who would love to have this treasure. I downloaded your pattern. With my odds being almost less than the Mega Million Lottery, I better start working on my own! :-)
I like it very much!

Kaaren, so glad that you are on the way to recovery. You have been in my prayers!
I love your FFF - and the scarecrow is so cute! He would look great on my bed - whatever the season.
And if I don't win - I'll make one like him! Thanks for all you do!
Thank you Kaaren for another freebie, which by the way would be most welcome in my home if he chose to fly this way. :D
For me, it's not too soon to be working on autumn patterns ... I'm already working on some for Christmas.
Enjoy the Easter weekend.

Hi Kaaren~
Thanks so much for the cutie pie scarecrow~ I'd say you are right on time for me . . . I might actually have time to make this for the upcoming fall here in MI! Hahahaha! So glad you signed up for the pincushion exchange~ And, I'm very, very glad you are feeling better and back to doing all those things you love!

Absolutely would love the flying scarecrow to live at my house. Besides Spring, Autumn is my other most favorite season.

Thank you for offering your lovely pillow. I'd be happy to have it, but I'm even happier that you are feeling well enough to get back to your crafty self.
partecipo volentieri alla tua estrazione.

Your pillow really reminds me of the scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz, one of my favorites, so thanks for the pattern. Put my name in the giveaway bag and give it a good shake. I forgot to comment on your Granny Sqaures quilt. I love your use of 30s fabrics. It's so very cheerful. The only reason I didn't do it myself is that Quilters Club of America had a mystery quilt a few months ago that had a very similar block, only it was a 7x7 rather than 5x5. I finished it and now just need a new baby in the family to find it a new home.
I'm glad to hear that you a doing well and back to quilt shop shopping. Keep on the road to recovery. Kathie L in Allentown
Happy Easter, The pillow is lovely but I'm happier that you feel well enough to post the FFF :O)
thanks for sharing the pattern. He is adorable and who wouldn't love to win something you have made.
Happy Easter!
