Note from the designer: I had so much fun with this design! The bubbles coming up out of the cauldron were fun to see when I got the model back from the stitcher - I don't always know if my ideas will work or not! This one is a little companion piece to my other mini moons.
This time of year generally calls for vampire bats, but let's not forget about their flying-fox- cousins, the fruit bats! Fruit bats love fruit (figs being a favorite), nectar, and flowers. The bats themselves were quite a challenge to design, but I really had fun with them!
A beautiful red brick house adorns the center of this design. The bottom has a row of American flags, but a white rabbit seems to have stolen one and a red fox is in hot pursuit!

This is the second in the seasons pincushion series, and I think my favorite part about this chart is the Bible verse: Proverbs 31:21 - "She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet." I think that is just the loveliest verse!
