Trick or Treat

This was a fun quilt to quilt. I love getting these where I can do different borders and backgrounds and aside from outlining all the applique using rulers (this is getting hard on my shoulder!), I use a little chalk and freehand the designs.  All photos enlarge when clicked.
Spider web in metallic thread.

Another web in the top corner and a neon lime green one growing in the bottom corner.  A few words, eek is through the moon, tricks and treats, boo.

I loved this block, I did a maze design on the border and kept the background subtle.  Gotta love neon green thread for these types of quilts.

M wanted a separate border motif and I just didn't think feathers or leaves for this.  Since this is for the grandchildren, I thought something with a lot of motion. I really like how this turned out, as it's the first time I stitched this design.

Thank goodness for all those knuckle raps in elementary school, I've got nice hand writing.  Don't know about this generation, I don't even think they can use spell check by the looks of the job applications I get at work  Yes, I double and triple check the spelling of every word, no matter how simple!  It will live forever in a quilt.

This one is a bit tough to see, the border says Happy Halloween, Ghosts, and on the bottom, Wicked Witch

Fall is in the air, my favorite time of year!
