   It's the beginning of March
 and time for a new 
Cackling Stitches Block of the Month,
for our
"Bona Lisa's Sweater Emporium"
quilt.

I've designed the "Take No Bull Sweater" Quilt Block for March.


Even Bona Lisa likes a little western in her wardrobe.
Click Here to download the pattern - it's free until the end of March.  


This is the quilt:
Bona LIsa's Sweater Emporium
in 3 different colorways
50" x 74"

for a page that has all the previous blocks listed and is up to date
with links to find the patterns.

How do we run our BOM's? We try to keep them easy!
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.
