Brer Guys Mat, Frame, Squares, Lyric


Brer Bear and Brer Fox have been trying to catch Brer Rabbit for years, with no success. They are characters in the animated sequences in "The Song of the South," a movie most Americans have never seen. However, the characters are known to park visitors because they are the main characters of Splash Mountain, and they were used as mascots for the Dixie Landings Resort in WDW (now Port Orleans - Riverside.)

I got the pattern for the Brer Rabbit paper piecing from a children's menu from one of the Dixie Landings' restaurants. Yes, Brer Rabbit normally has white around his mouth, but I just could not get it to look right.

The frame, is supposed to be Brer Fox and Brer Bear's home, with wallpapered walls, and a dusty floor and their stuff scattered everywhere as they ran off to try and catch Brer Rabbit one more time.

Wood embellishments came from Michaels.

Flower paper is from Foofala.
