Let's start with the quilting since this is mainly a quilting blog. However this was pieced while on vacay:) It's definitely time to get Halloween items listed in my Etsy shop so I am on a roll. The center of this is one of six panels on this piece of fabric. Each piece is approximately 9" square and is from Henry Glass.
I was so focused on this wall hanging that I forgot to take in progress shots. But when you look at the photos you can see I left the original orange fabric around the panel. The little green faux piping is where I started doing my own thing with the borders. Including another faux piping border in black and white stripes before the final ghost fabric border.
And before long Halloween #2 was all done and it waited to be quilted when I got home.
Lots of stitch in the ditch (SID) occurred and then some fun U turn quilting in the polka dot white triangles. Cross hatching on the diagonal on the panel square itself. Piano key spaced at 1.5" on the outer border.
Before long it was all quilted, bound, and listed in my shop. And onto Halloween #3, I'll save that for another post;)
So this leg of the vacay was all about the ATV trails in the Lakewood, WI area. We had a week there. Here is a sampling of one of the trails we took. This one had very sandy trails and hubby was having lots of fun driving on this one. Lots of curves too! Along this trail we started seeing wild black berries. But most of them were green yet.

But on the next trail in a different county they were ripe!! We might have eaten a few and we might have brought home a few for the freezer.
You never know what the trails are going to be like until you are on them. A few bridges to cross on this one. I have to say the weather sure cooperated with us and we were surprised that there were not many bugs.

Hi Vicki! Yes, it is definitely time to get busy on those Halloween items. I have a few quilted that I have to get the binding on. Those wild blackberries look yummy, and I'm glad Wisconsin was welcoming to you both. Happy Monday, my friend. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
