Sweet on You Day 1 in Review

Nothing beats "Sweets" and my fellow bloggers who share them with us.

Yesterday I kicked off the "Sweet on You" hop by sharing my treat shelf and a chocolate quilt.

You know chocolate makes the world go round! LOL!!

Karrin "Gnomes" us so well, with her sweet little projects. Her pillows are just adorable and that Minnie Mouse table runner made my heart sing. If that wasn't enough, she's even working on a redwork stitchery, as well.
Leah must know that my favorite chocolate is Lindor Truffles. Those gift bags she made for them are just perfection!
Selina shared her "sweet" little candy envelopes and purses and and even made birthday placemats to brighten someones day!
Brianna delighted us with her sweet Valentines table and shared her fussy cutting tips.
Joy shared her "heartfelt" tutorial on the sweetest little needle case. We all need these.
Kris shared one sweetheart of a treat with us, with her Heart of my Heart Quilt!

You girls rocked the hop today and we have more to share...

Here's our next "Sweet" lineup!

I'm Kinda "Sweet on You" Challenge/Blog Hop

Welcome to day 1 of our "Sweet on You" challenge. I love seeing just what my fellow bloggers have done to meet the challenge each month. As for me...

My "Sweet" project is really all about sweets! My favorite treat.

Are you a gummy worm lover, or dots, (my favorite) conversation hearts, taffy and those gross wax bottles of some kind of sweet liquid, or licorice? I remember sucking those dots off the paper as a kid. What's better than a soggy paper right?

My shelf of treats was make with "Crafter's Edge" "Nestled Jar" die's.

I think this is one of the greatest new dies they have released. I see all kinds of things to put up on shelves in these jars! Sewing supplies, fruits and veges, oh and don't get me started on all the Halloween things that can go in them, too!

But lets get serious about treats here...

There is nothing that speaks to me more than "CHOCOLATE" and these little proverbs just say it all!

That lower right one is likely what my friends will tell you, reminds them most about me.

All that chocolate and those proverbs worked their way into my

"Heavenly Chocolate Bliss" quilt.

This fun pattern is from Angie Oswald at "Quilting Melodies".

Many years ago I stumbled on the pattern at HMQS in Salt Lake City.

They had a special display of these chocolate quilts and all were so different!

After seeing that exhibit, I knew that I had to have the pattern.

You may remember seeing my pink version on my blog, back in 2011.

You can read more on it HERE

It was so much fun to make, that my friend and I taught a class in 2012, at our local sewing shop.

Check out the quilts from class HERE

Blinging it up a bit, was fun using a lame fabric.

It's kind of a bugger to stitch, but well worth the trouble.

After all, it makes those Hershey bars and kisses almost look real!

If you need one of these "Heavenly Chocolate Bliss" quilts in your life, you can find the pattern

HERE

A big thanks to all of you for stopping by and checking out my treats.

Be sure to stop in and see what "Sweet" things my fellow bloggers have to share today!

Happy Valentines Day

As the saying goes...the early bird gets the worm.

I'm not too sure just what I would do with worms, so I changed them out for hearts.

LOL!!

This little project is part of Julie Cefalu, the Crafty Quilters 2014 "Nordic Mini Quilt Along".

Yes, I dug deep into those projects that I have been wanting to do for so long.

No, I didn't do the whole project yet, but I will one of these days!

(famous last words, right?)

:-)

I used the larger size heart pattern for this little mini and added a sweet little bird, who flew in just to drop off some love.

Wishing you all a very Happy Valentines Day!

Which Way to Witchville BOM - February

It's February 1 and "Witchville" is growing!

This month we start introducing shops to our town.

Is anyone hungry for some baked goods?

"Witchville Bakery" from "MooseStashQuilting"

Is now available in my Etsy shop

An Apple a Day from "Just Let Me Quilt"

You can find the pattern on her blog

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
