Sharon here. It is always a treat to see bats flying overhead when I’m out on a walk at dusk. Did you know that a bat can eat up to 1,200 mosquitoes in just an hour? That fact alone makes me a huge fan of the bat! I’m also a fan of the Count, and I love this little ditty-

Can you guess what my project is for this challenge?

This spooky tea towel features our Mexican free-tailed bat, originally a block from our “Southwest Critters” quilt. I made the bat from my black and gray scraps, and appliqued him onto a fun Halloween print background. I purchased just half a yard of the print, and pulled from my scrap bins to find the border and accent strip. I’m pleased with my new tea towel!

Still Sharon here. I couldn’t resist sharing this photo, even though Mr. Fix-It thinks that it is very silly. We have such pretty little flowers in the yard this fall; Freya and Astrid are ready for “trick-or-doggy treat” on Halloween! (No chocolates for these girls! Mommy gets to enjoy those instead.)
