October 31...throwback Halloween

 Well, this is the day...

My favorite day of the year!

Today I am sharing the row by row that Carol designed for the "Cackling Stitches" facebook group last year.

I shared a lot of photos of my progress on the Facebook group page, but never on my blog.

The top has been done for awhile, but it's finally quilted.

Who knew a trampoline would be such a great place to hang a quilt for photos???? I have to admit, I am not a trampoline person. At my age, balance and a broken hip are first and foremost in my mind. LOL!!

The first step was tricky, but I survived.

Technology amazes me sometimes. It sure is fun to play with. I got a new Iphone with a clean up tool in the photos, that allows you to remove things you don't want in them. It's not perfect, but it's pretty cool to play with. I tried to remove the clothes pins holding the quilt up and it did actually take half of them off. You can still see part of them on the quilt itself, but the half that was in the sky is gone. 

HAHAHAHA

That even sounds like an old fogie comment to me!

The colors are starting to turn here and my clothes pins are actually all gone, in this photo.

TEE HEE HEE

Have a hauntingly fabulous Halloween!

Trick or Treat...I get all the Tootsie Rolls!

Bona Lisa's Sweater Emporium Final blocks

And here we are...the end of our 2024 Block of the Month.

That must mean that Halloween is rapidly approaching.

Whoop Whoop. 

This is "Bona's Wooly Wig" by Carla at Creatin' in the Sticks

You can find more on it HERE

Carol shared her August block with us early.

This is "Bad to the Bone" by "Just Let Me Quilt"

You will have to go to our Facebook group page to get this one!

We hope you have enjoyed our "Bona Lisa" BOM this year and we look forward to seeing your "boo-tiful" quilts.

How does our Bona Lisa's Sweater Emporium BOM work? 

It runs from January 1st through August 31st. July 31st.

All block releases happen on the first day of each month. They can be conveniently found on our Cackling Stitches Facebook page HERE.

 They will be pinned under the "Featured" tab to make them easy to locate.

On the first day of each month, we release a block pattern (sometimes it's more than one)

 that is free for the entire calendar month. After that, those blocks go into our individual 

ETSY shops where you can purchase them for $2 each. 

If you just can't wait, the entire pattern can be purchased in my ETSY shop for $15.

We hope you appreciate the time we put into creating this BOM and understand that we keep

 the costs to a minimum for you. We ask that you respect our copyrights and do not share the 

pattern with others. You're welcome to direct your friends to our Cackling Stitches Group 

Facebook or any of our ETSY shops so they can get their own patterns.

You can choose to make the entire quilt, or just a wall hanging, the choice is yours! Either way, you will be able to collect many different "Sweaters" throughout the BOM, for your sweet skeleton.  If you are making your sweaters like paper doll clothes, just fuse the sweaters onto a piece of felt. If you have ever wanted to become a designer, give it a try and design and share a sweater with us. We can't wait to see what you dream up.

Which Way to Witchville BOM - August

 Our last two rides and block has arrived.

It's hard to believe that we only had one more month left! Yep, you read that right. HAD! Carol has decided to give you all the finishing instructions a month early. I am pretty sure that is OK with all of you! LOL!! We are excited to see your quilts finished and now you for sure have enough time, before the big day in October arrives.

And on that note...we are working hard on next years BOM right now for you. I'm excited about it and I think you are going to LOVE it! Need a little hint? Think of something you likely played with as a child. That's it, my lips are sealed now. You can ponder on that until it starts! 

Here are the last brooms for you.

Chester's Haunted Ride

You can download the pattern for free this month only

It's also an option for those of "us" who just can't wait for the next months release. LOL!!
