    Default Going Batty

    Here's what I've been playing with over the weekend. I saw the Tiddly Winks block and it reminds me of tulips or birds or bats. The more I looked at it the more I thought it should be bats in a Halloween table runner. Just made this for fun from stuff in my stash. Decided my bats needed eyes and since I didn't have any seed beads I used French Knots. Just my crazy imagination running away with me. I named it "Going Batty."

    Very cute! If you did them in white, they could be ghosts also.

    Thanks everyone. Tartan, you are absolutely right! I have a lot of this fabric in my stash. Think I'll make a topper of some sort and use this for a border. Thanks for the idea.

    Jan, this is a fabulous runner and sure looks like a tiddlywink, or even the corners we used to use to put photos in. And so simple, 4 HSTs with a bat head Good imagination! Great Job.!!!

    And love the ghost fabric!
