Boo!!! Trick or Treat.... Smell my Feet.... Give me something good to eat.....
When I was a kid, we used to chant this as we went from house to house. I remember us all running around the neighborhood in our costumes. One year I was a robot... I made my costume out of a refrigerator box wrapped in tin foil. I had a small slit cut to see out of and a 'deposit candy here' opening with a pillowcase hooked to the inside of the box to catch the candy. This was one of those costumes that in theory was awesome, but the practicality of it.... not so brilliant. I could barely navigate front steps. It was hilarious! I thought it looked like a robot, but I'm sure I just looked like a huge box wrapped in tin foil hobbling down the street. It turned out to be unseasonably warm that year... so I baked inside of my toasty box... I could have been a microwave!
Are you decorating for the spooky holiday yet? The leaves are turning, I've bought mums and pumpkins to decorate my front door with. I've been thinking about pulling out the fall/Halloween bins out to decorate. I'm looking forward to getting out my festive quilted bat mats. They are a lot of fun to decorate with. I love displaying them here and there around the house. I'm even thinking of making some more.

| Make a bunch of Bat Mats and sew them onto some orange and white bakers twine for a batty garland to welcome the little zombies that visit this Halloween. |
I have also been thinking it would be fun to have a virtual sew in on a Friday night. Maybe host it on Facebook live or Zoom and all sew Going Batty Mug Mats together. What do you think? Leave a comment below if you are interested. Its something I have been thinking about and I think it could be a lot of fun! Maybe host a little giveaway during the evening too. I look forward to hearing from you!
Happy Quilting,
Cindy and Belvedere
I'd be interested in a group qal. Sounds like fun. It might be easier to post on Instagram? I'm ordering the pattern whether or not you host a qal. I miss qal's that blogging friends did. It's a very positive experience. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI think it sounds good! Your bats are adorable! Hugs,
ReplyDeleteI could not find your Bat Mat pattern on Etsy. Could you help me.
ReplyDeleteThose bats are soooo cute! They look like just what I need right now, as I am between 2 big projects, and kind of procrastinating another start.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute!! 2020 just feels like a year gone batty ... the little mug rug bats are perfectly on theme! Count me in! :)
ReplyDeleteCute bats. I just ordered the pattern.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea! I have the pattern and need a push to get started.
