It's A Jungle Out There

 There are days when I leave my house to run errands and it really feels like
"It's A Jungle" out there! With my "angry knee" still bugging me, I move so slow 
and worry about being trampled by elephants and giraffes at the grocery store.
Okay, it only feels like there are elephants and giraffes in my stores when I'm limping along.

Thank goodness Joan's blog hop challenge isn't really out there in a jungle,
but her challenge is just my speed!


The Challenge: Animals, plants, trees…what’s in your jungle?
For some of us, it might even be our sewing rooms.

The Benartex fabric in this quilt is "Starlight Safari" by Lorraine Turner.


The lion panel is surrounded by the beautiful prints in this fabric line.


I love the blue fabric!



I'm working on getting my angry knee to let me stand long enough to quilt this flimsy.
My pile of need-to-be-quilted projects are getting out of control.
It's a jungle of flimsy's!


Check out the rest of the jungle crew!


"Bee Kind" is all Joan's in September!


The Challenge: September is the time to remember that a little kindness goes a long way. 
Share your “kind” projects. Your favorite charity project, a free online pattern or anything
 that shows you spread a little kindness, everywhere you go. The Bee's are an important part
 of life as well, and we all need to be kind to them too! 
That makes this hop the perfect place to share your Bee Quilts!

Contact Joan if you want to play along in "It's A Jungle" and or "Bee Kind".


"Something Wicked" is hosted by ME in October.


The Challenge: I think this is self-explanatory, don't you.

Let me know if you want to jump on your broom for "Something Wicked."

Creepsville Haunted Neighborhood

 When Sew Yeah had QT's "Creepsville" fabric on their YouTube show, I kind of lost my mind.
I had to have that fabric! It's creepy and spooky...just like me!

"HAUNTED NEIGHBORHOOD"


The "Creepsville" panel comes with 16 haunted houses that totally called my name.
Other fabrics in the line are equally, if not more, creepy!

You can find this pattern HERE.

Scared Silly Boo-Along Row 1

Let's get this "Scared Silly" Boo-Along started!
FYI: A "Boo-Along" is like a row-along, but it's for quilters who are crazy about Halloween.


ROW 1 - PETRIFYING PUMPKINS


My version of ROW 1 using Benartex Superior Solids and Glow-O-Ween by Kanvas Studios 


You can download ROW 1 HERE and the whole quilt fabric requirements HERE.
(The rows are great for those Halloween scraps of fabric hiding in your stash.)

THE FREAKY FACTS:

Starting August 1st, one or two rows will be shared each month.
There will be 12 rows of applique and/or piecing.
They will be a mystery until they get released on the first of each month.

The row(s) will be free the month they are released and then they will
mysteriously disappear and magically appear in my Etsy store for a small fee.


We have a Facebook page called "Cackling Stitches" where we share Halloween projects.
"Scared Silly" rows will be shared on my blog and on FB so be sure to follow one to get updates.

Just Let Me Quilt




Please share photos of your rows/blocks on Cackling Stitches or send them to me
and I'll share them for you (sewswift6@gmail.com).

Grab your broom and let's get sewing!
