Which Way to Witchville BOM - March

Marching on with "Witchvillle"!

Carol is getting us all dolled up for the "Witchville Gala Night"
You can find it at "Just Let Me Quilt"
Carla is teaching us all a new trick with her
"Flying Lessons" block
You can find it at "Creatin in the Sticks"

I am sharing the flying geese units you need. 
This pattern will be a free pattern for the duration of the BOM.
You can download it HERE

You can also find the download for these patterns on our Cackling Stitches Facebook group page
All pattern are easy to find at the top of the page, in the Featured Posts tab.

This BOM runs from Jan 1st through September 30th. As with years past, on the first day of each month, we will release block patterns on our Facebook group page, that will be free for that calendar month. They will then go into our individual ETSY shops, where you can purchase them for $2 each block.  We have had emails and fielded many questions, so what is "new" this year, is that the entire pattern is now available in each of our ETSY shops for $15.  You no longer have to wait until it's over, to be able to purchase the pattern. It's also an option for those of "us" who just can't wait for the next months release. LOL!! 

We hope you appreciate the time we put into creating this BOM and understand that we are keeping the costs to a minimum for you. We ask that you respect our copyrights and do not share this pattern. Your welcome to direct your friends to our Cackling Stitches Group Facebook page HERE, or any of our blogs and Etsy shops

Sweet on You Day 4 in Review


It has been a week for the record, with so many "Sweet on You" treats! 

Today...
  • Carol shared her "Hugs and Kisses" quilt done with Benartex's fabulous "Be My Gnomie" line of fabric. It really puts the heart into Valentines day and her Gnome quilt was icing on the cake!
  • Sandie delighted us with her Love Notes. (Make sure you grab the free pattern she linked for you)
  • Denise dazzled us with her sweet mug rugs and a strip quilt that she took to another level, with color and die cuts and her famous flying geese. 
  • Melissa took us on a trip to the strawberry fields and shared a fabulous tutorial on making your own sweet stitchery! Thanks Melissa. 
  • Julia shared the sweetest pouches that she designed, done in such fun fabrics.
  • Kim gave me a good laugh today, between Anarchy and Noah leaving the ark. You have to check out her sweet quiltie!
  • Arnorina made us all hungry with her sweet donuts!

I say this at the end of every hop....but it's true! I just hate seeing it come to an end. My fellow bloggers are the most creative and inspiring bunch there are. I do hope you all have enjoyed "I'm Kinda Sweet on You" as much as I did. A big thanks to all for making these challenge hops the best!

One of our sharp eyed readers posted this comment, and I wanted to share...
Vroomans posted a project with cross stitch patterns. The blogger stated that the designer disappeared. The designer was Ms. Velda. Ms. Velda was diagnosed with cancer and has died, but her patterns are offered for free at Cyberstitchers.com. Her patterns are under Angelic Stitches by Velda. Ms. Velda design many awesome smaller patterns and she made certain the patterns would be available for free after her death for all to enjoy.

A big thanks to whomever it was. It came across as anonymous in my comments. You can find Angelic Stitches by Velda HERE. Make sure you check out the website though, if you love cross stitch. There are loads of fun designs and they all are free.

Sweet on You Day 3 in Review

Elizabeth went into scrap attach mode for this hop with 5 projects that put the "S" in sweet! You know she spoke right to my soul, with scrap busting.
Gail dug into her scrap bin of beautiful batiks, to create the sweetest little mini. Oh how I love batiks.
Charlene not only treated one of her co-workers to an incredibly sweet surprise, but she delighted us all with it too. 
Bea scrap busted her sweet "Beach Bum" design using the Accuquilt GO.
Kathy dazzled us with her sweet feather quilting! Oh the eye candy.
Lynn shared beautiful photos of the wildlife in her area along with a gorgeous mystery quilt and even more!

It was a scrap attach kind of day and you all made my heart happy!
The "Sweetness" continues today with these wonderful bloggers.
