You can often find in hardware stores and garden centers small decorative flags that hang on metal stakes to place in the ground or hang on an exterior wall.
Garden flags are typically approximately 12.5” wide x 18” long. They have a pocket on the top edge to slide on to your stake. They are made from any material that will withstand outdoor conditions. You can paint, applique, or whatever is your pleasure, to illustrate your message. I love Autumn and the Autumn colors, so let’s make that the theme; Halloween, Thanksgiving or just the delightful colors of the season.
Sign up by September 29th, partners posted by October 1st.

Let me get closer to the ending signup date before I commit. It is a super idea, but I have rotator cuff surgery the 17th and may not be up to sewing. I will let you know.

We're half way to the end of sign ups for this swap, and it slipped to the second page. I completed my garden flag last night. And if I must say so myself, "it turned out pretty cute".
Come on down and sign up for this swap - It's a breeze to make.

Hi Ida Jane, my seamstress skills are not necessarily up to par, so I'm a little intimidated... however, I would love to try. Please sign me up. Can you also confirm when the mailout deadline will be?

Ida Jane, I received your cute October/ Halloween garden flag today! Thank you!
When I first opened the package I was greeted by the scent of autumn!!! I began to look,this opening and smelling of everything...then I picked up the gossamer bag and there it was...amazing how good those two tea bags smell! Thank you.
Hopefully I will get your flag in tomorrows mail. I meant to do it today but one hyperactive puppy, and a new perm appointment got in my way! Tomorrow is errand day...and I must go to the post office!

April!! I absolutely love the garden flag you made! It lives near my front door and makes me smile each time I pass by. It's charming! You are so talented. I also love the wood block with it's beautiful message and lettering - that lives in my kitchen and will likely remain there well past autumn! As for the other little treats, I am having some Harvest tea right now as I type this, and Werthers makes me so nostalgic. You have curated yet another wonderful piece of Farmgirl mail.
Have a beautiful day!
  
PS...I so appreciate the little touches you always include, like attaching colorful leaves to the end of the twine. Such a simple thing that makes such a difference! I plan to copy your idea (like a few others...) but I will credit you always! =D

Oh, Jill, Im happy you liked Mr. Scarecrow! That harvest tea is one of my favorite fall teas! I'm at trader Joe's every fall when it first comes out, seems to sell out quickly here in my neck of the woods. Enjoy all the little autumn moments the season brings!
And, thank you again for my garden flag, I have it on my patio and in view from my kitchen window and slider where I can see it many times a day! Love it!

BECKY! Love the beautiful Autumn flag and cute cute little fun inserts!! I just decorated my front gate so this is a super edition!! Barely cooled off here but they ate saying a cold front is due in next weekend! (YES)
I feel awful because you and Ida just didnt get the best of me with my limitations right now. I look forward to having you both as swap partners in the future as I heal so I can create better!
Happy Autumn and thank you AGAIN!!
