This summer I went to a quilting retreat. In a very uncharacteristic move...I didn't bring too many projects...which meant I have time...and some stuffing to fill that time with. I started googling ideas for primitive Halloween projects. It's currently my obsession. I saw a wreath like this on etsy...and so I put together a few characters.
Here is a free link to the
crow pattern. There are a lot of things I'm pretty mediocre at, but when it comes to free form cutting....it's a weird skill I excel at....I drew a pattern of this bird before I sewed him together. I added a button eye and a scrap for his scarf...b/c crows wear scarves. You could also paint his beak, but....I didn't have my paints, and I didn't have my motivation when I got home! I used some primitive-ish looking fabric I got at JoAnne's.
I cut rough circles out of brown fabric, stitch a loose stitch along the edge and then pulled it shut after adding stuffing. I cut two more circles with yellow and fringed the edge and then glued it to the back.
For the pumpkin I cut out a rectangle, sewed three sides, stuffed, and then put a stick in the middle and gathered the top. I wired on some Spanish moss to a grapevine wreath and then glued these guys down and added a bow.
