Lori Whitlock October Blog Hop


Welcome to my stop on the blog hop. You should be coming from Joy's blog at Joy's Life.  If you need help finding others, click on the names on the list below. Your next step is Mendi, but before you leave, let me share with you a little bit of Halloween. 
I created this batty border from 2 different bats in Lori's shop. The first comes from the Halloween Embellishment Set 1, and the second bat comes from "Haunted House." This was such an easy project, I almost feel guilty, but it is so cute in my house. I LOVE it.


I cut the bats from a variety of black, grey and turquoise double sided Halloween papers I had in my closet. This made for EASY and quick assembly. I used orange thread and my sewing machine and sewed through each bat, leaving about an inch between each bat. These bats are on a continuous string without any breaks/stops. I alternated the shape and color of the bats as I sewed them on this long string. I then draped the bats between the brackets and went back and forth until I was out of string. 



Before you take off, make sure you get your next piece for the Thanksgiving banner here. I am giving away the letter K.  


And FINALLY there is an amazing sale going on at Lori's shop today this weekend. Here in Utah, we are celebrating Fall Break and what a great way to celebrate with a fun sale. Lori has offered 30% off at her shop. So head on over and get some great shapes.




DONT FORGET! Lori is giving away a $20 gift card to the shop? Go back to her place and enter if you haven't already done so. After you enter, make sure and head over to Mendi's place.

  11. Great idea. I had a garland I made like this last year but didn't fold it right and had to throw away a tangled mess this year. good idea to stitch them together. :) I also had an eye ball garland that tangled with the bats.
