We Love The Scarecrow Patch

I look forward to this day in the fall.  The day when we head to St. Libory to The Scarecrow Patch!
The drive was gorgeous this year with all the trees changing colors.
It was also Junk Jaunt weekend so we were able to make a few stops on the way there and on the way home.  We stopped in Farwell.
Here is the Scarecrow Patch view from inside the corn maze.
There was a sprinkler pole in the middle of the path!
Quinn, the goat whisperer.
Ziplining with finesse.
They had a new "toy" this year, the jumping pillow.  It was a huge tarp buried around the edges with air blowing underneath.  Brenna shows us how it is done.
It was a blast!
We even got mom out there.  Can she do it?
YES SHE CAN!


They also had some alpacas.
I had to take a picture of this.  How funny it looks to see so many people across the way bouncing on orange.
Up close and personal with an alpaca.  They were quite interested when I stuck my camera through the fence.

Pumpkin picking time.

Have I grown?!  No, but the kids sure have.
Hehe, this is pretty close to a Historical Marker sign.  It was right on the edge of one of the Junk Jaunt yards.  I already have the marker it refers to, so I thought this was good enough:)
Ahhh, Brenna is going into the scary, moldy space house!!

Do you see who I see?!  That is right, behind the clown is my dear friend Joy!!  They were a wonderful ending to a great day.
They came shortly after we arrived home and made supper.  We let them stay and then sent them on their way.  After a game of Dutch Blitz and Canasta!

Finish It Up Friday...Scrappy Triangle Shag Rug

Image
UPDATE: Several people have asked about this rug. One specifically asked about how I folded my prairie points. So here are some step by step pictures.  I started with a 4 inch square. Fold that square in half diagonally.  Fold the point up away from the fold at the center towards the other side.  Fold the other side up across in the same way. A friend sent me a picture on facebook of a rug. It was a cute rug she saw at a newborn photography class. I took on the challenge of recreating that rug. I was a bit surprised to not find anything like it online.  I did finally find a variation of prairie points to use when folding and ironing.  I did a lot of folding and ironing.  I took 4 inch squares folded them in half and then folded the sides overlapping to create more of an acute angle to the triangle. I started with a 30 inch circle made from some denim and just started sewing them on...around and around.  I was amazed at how many times I had to stop and find more squar

Finish It Up Friday...Pink Triangle Shag Rug!

Image
I made this scrappy rug back in 2016 for a childhood friend who does fabulous photography! Check our her work: www.katrinaleephotography.com  or on Facebook . She was able to put it to use for this precious baby photo shoot!  After she posted it another friend of mine saw it and requested a pink, cream and gray rug for her coming granddaughter!  Thanks so much for the shoutout Katrina! It was already a week or so into January and she wanted it by February 1st...so I got crackin'!  You can see how I made the first one HERE .  It is fun to see these last photos in a row and watch it grow.  I'm not a big pink fan, but I did end up having plenty of pinks for this rug.  Not having to go buy fabric sped up the process.  I want one for myself now! So fun!  I struggled to get the center right once again.  I sewed it into a swirl thinking it looked a bit like a rose.  The gal who ended up receiving it wanted something more.  She f

Hello, Jellyfish Wedding Quilt

Image
My babiest brother got married in March! So crazy! So happy for them! They were planning to get married this coming August but decided to just have a small courthouse wedding earlier. I thought I had time to get a wedding quilt made but not with the change. I asked for their preferences and got started. Request: he likes green, she likes pink and wanted some jellyfish. Here are the fabrics I went with, plus white and teal rocks. I found another quilt I liked on SuzyQuilts website. It was a bit more of a modern pattern, which I thought fit my sister in law a bit better. Ready, set, go! These pictures are a little out of order, oops!   I tried just figuring the pattern out myself so I wasn't sure how my measurements would come out. It came out really long! I ended up trimming part of the top and bottom as well as adding a vertical border. Simple blocks! I am feeling so much better about the tension of my quilt parts on the rollers. It gave me the confidence to try a new design! Yay!
