Do you want to join in the BOM fun? Check out our Facebook page HERE.

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

It runs from January 1st through August 31st. 

All block releases happen on our Cackling Stitches Facebook page HERE.

We even give you the fabric requirements early to help you conjure/gather your fabrics.

You can find it HERE.

It's not a mystery BOM. We show you each of our finished quilts!

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. 

New and free block(s) then appear for the new month...and so on, and so on.

Beginning January 1st, the ENTIRE pattern is available in each of our ETSY shops for $15.

We've had so many people ask us if they can buy the whole thing at once, so we decided to go for it.

If you can't wait for each block release or you don't have a Facebook page, this is for you!

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 starting January 1st.

Rolling Ironing Board And The Witchy Quilt

With the help of my crew, I turned my big Sullivan ironing board into a solid and movable way to press all those fabric projects. I'm loving it! 

The ironing board easily sits on top of the cart and the Velcro strap slipped through the

drawer area. The board is heavy enough that it doesn't slide around.

The wheels are a fabulous bonus to roll this thing where I need it.

It's about 35"-36" tall with the wheels and board.

I bought the ironing board online from Joann's and the microwave cart and board cover from Amazon.

Here are the links (I'm not an affiliate):

The big rectangle ironing board can be found HERE.

The ironing board cover can be found HERE.

The microwave cart can be found HERE. It comes unassembled.

The drawer has been great for holding my clapper, glue stick, and scissors.

I'm sure I'll find more things to throw in there.

I'm usually sewing applique quilts that I design, but this one called my name.

I wish when it was calling my name that it had let me know that it has a gazillion

1-1/2" pieces in almost every block. They make me crazy...I like big pieces!

After having to use my seam ripper way too many times, I thankfully remembered to use

that fabulous glue stick to make all the seams match.

Dab a little on the seam and iron both layers for a few seconds to hold it in place.

After sewing them, I only had a couple that moved a bit and weren't spot on.

It made a fast job of  matching the seams in the stars and skirt. 

I started with the skirt because it was what got my attention in this pattern.

The directions in the pattern had pictures. I love picture directions!

I've been taking pictures of each section as I go along. I can't wait to finish it!

 Joan at Moosestash Quilting and Carla at Creatin' In The Sticks have been

working just like me to get ready for the Cackling Stitches BOM. We're very excited!

Joan and I have been thinking of blog hop challenges for next year.

We're almost ready with those, too!

Here's a sneak peek for January. Details will be released soon.

The rest of the year will have these blog hop happenings:

I hope you join us next week for Monster Mash!
