Which Way to Witchville BOM - May

 May we introduce to you, our next two blocks in our "Witchville" town? Be sure to grab them while they are free this month!

Got shoes that need a little extra love? The "Village Cobbler" is here to help out!

"Beware of Witchville"

Only go there if you dare...

You can also find the download for these patterns on our Cackling Stitches Facebook group page

HERE

You will find it 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

Say What? Challenge Day 4 Wrap Up and a New Challenge...

 

Yep, us bloggers sure have a lot to say...

• Carol delighted not only us, but her adorable little granddaughter with a quilt make from a soft book panel. She also shared  a paper piecing project her still can't believe she said yes to. LOL!!
• Karrin's heartfelt pillow and  framed piece brought a tear to our eyes today. She said so much, with such love. Beautiful work! 
• Sandie was on the case today...pillow case that is! I love how she personalized them. 
• Melisa took us on a trip to her families tobacco farm, with her incredible story of growing up. She hand appliqued and quilted a beautiful piece to remember "life" by. 
• Brenda brought back my memories of days gone by with her Sheep quilt. I love her twist on it. Her coffee mugrug is too cute.
• Joy created a sweet tote bag, complete with custom pockets to keep her crochet items organized.

This seems to be the best way to wrap up this hop...

I definitely am going to make this into something, because we never stop learning.

We just need to put ourselves out there.

I do hope this hop has inspired everyone to "Be Brave" and try something new.

A big thanks to all my blogging buddies for making "Say What" another wonderful hop.

I am not ready to stop hearing what us quilter have to say.

Because you all really do, brighten up my day!

Please make sure you comment on all the posts from the hop. Our bloggers love hearing from you.

Part of the whole online experience is to connect with each other. 

Their are great friendships formed online.

Say What? Challenge Day 3 Wrap Up

 

Yep, us bloggers sure have a lot to say...

• Gail delighted us with a fun quilty assortment of memes. But her "What Happens at Quilt Retreat, Stays at Quilt Retreat" wall hanging was the absolute best. She also shared an Iron on quilt label book that has me heading off to find one for myself!
• Sharon blew my mind today when she talked about her and her guild creating a quilt starting at the borders. What a different way to approach a quilt. It just proves, we never stop learning.
• Leah shared her crazy quilted project bags with us today and where to find the "Free" pattern. How many of you actually use those decorative stitches on your machine. I seldom use them, but that might have to change.
• Moira shared her pieced circles and the link to the tutorial that makes them easy. I'm all about the easy way and will definitely be checking that out. She also finished off a beautiful heart mini that carried a huge message!
• Sharon and Susan, our Ms P Design USA team shared a story of days gone by, when tea parties with friends allowed for story telling. Times may have changed, but their coffee, tea or me lineup of patterns make it easy for us, to stitch up our memories.
• Kathy shared an adorable quilt for Emerson, along with different ways to incorporate words into our projects. She is the master of free motion writing.

Here's another "wordy" idea saved in my file of things to do...

Hopefully this isn't too off color for you, but it really made me laugh.

Maybe it was all those years, working in customer service at the airport.

There's a lot of stories there for sure!

LOL!!

Tomorrow is the final day of our "Say What?" hop. 

You don't want to miss what these bloggers have to say!

Say What?Challenge Day 2 Wrap Up

 

Yep, us bloggers sure have a lot to say...

• Julia blew my mind today with her microwave popcorn bag. It was a Say What moment for me. I sure wanted to make popcorn at 5am. LOL!!
• Carla inspired us all with her inspirational tote. We all need to remind ourselves, just how special we really are!
• Elizabeth shared the perfect way to start plants for the season with her Bloom mat! She shared the pattern with us as well. You can download it and many of her other beautiful patterns for free until July, so get them while you can! Thanks Elizabeth
• Charlene, who almost didn't participate because she didn't know what to say, rocked this hop with her emotion quilt and placemats to entice kids to eat their dinner. Even a couple for us bigger kids to not eat so much. LOL!! I know what I am going to be making!:-)
• Bea made some fun pot holders from selvedges. Her hubby is the king of making pizza on the grill and burned up his potholders. LOL!! I may have dropped the idea of us all being invited over for pizza, on her. 
• Joy made the sweetest little inspirational quiltie! She did an amazing job of free motion writing on it, with her machine, as well! Joy has a wonderful prize give away posted as well, don't miss out!

You girls bowled me over with the incredible projects you had to share today!

Here's another one of my saved ideas. I think this one came from Missouri Star.

This speaks volumes to me! 

LOL!!
