4th month Anniversary for the CGQC

Welcome everyone to my blog. I have to tell you this is exciting!
It is an honor to host the Charming Girls Club in its 4th month and a pleasure to connect with all the Charming girls.

http://cottoncharmquilts.typepad.com/charmingchatter/

Congratulations on all those beautiful September projects you guys finished. Wow! what talents! Looking forward to more of the same and supporting you with your October projects!
We will proceed in the usual manner. Members of the CGQC; you will post your projects by October 7th which you plan to have done by October 31st on your blog and send me a notice you have done so via this blog. It will direct everyone to your blogs. For those who do not blog send me an e-mail (address to be found in my profile) and I will post your entries here. When your projects are done you can post them in the same manner.The fun part is to see all those beautiful projects done so nicely. There are a lot of talented people in this club and the fun part is to follow these fabulous quilters at work.
Your name will be entered for the draw for a “chance to win 1 of 2 of the $25.00 GC’s. gift certificate from the generosity of Kelly to spend in her Sweet Little Shop "Cotton Charm Quilts ".

It is exciting to have Kelly on board as a participant with us and I am looking forward to her quilt-along.

Now for my October projects ...


The first project I will make is this little wall hanging
which I think is just priceless. The Quilter's Angel. I think all the Charming Girls qualify for that title.My next project will be a UFO .. Molly's Meadow by Kim Dielh. I have been working on it for a bit and it is time to finish it.

You have read about my up coming workshop in Amherst on October 16th with

designer Karen Neary http://www.sewkaren-lycreated.blogspot.com/. The workshop "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend", will be one of my projects I am submitting for October. I am certain I will want to make more than one of these...... I am also participating in the Charming Girls Club Mini Quilt Swap so that project needs to be completed and forwarded to my secret partner by October 31st.
How's your mini quilt swap coming along?
Don't forget to post your "swap" quilt and let Kris know on her blog. http://dandelionquilts.blogspot.com/


So visit often. Love to hear from you all and I will keep you informed on all CGQC activities. There may also be a few surprises :)


A quilt will warm your body and comfort your soul.

One is a dresser topper that I'm going to make for a Wedding gift and the other one is a Schnibbles quilt with KT fabrics called X-Rated.

    I have been out of the loop for the last couple months, and now I'm just beginning to catch up. I am relisting the quilt I listed a couple months ago. All I need to do is piece the back, get it quilted, and bound. (tee hee) that's all!

    I am not going to be able to participate again this month...We are still in the nightmare of moving (almost 2 months now). I can say that I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel though. The truck with our furnishings etc will be here Tuesday. Then, I have the wonderful task of putting the house together...ugggg.

    Can't wait to see everyone's projects...hope to join you again in Nov! Have fun.

    can't believe that October is over already!!
    I didn't get to post my pattern and fabrics, just my intent as to a project to finish....i'm going to put my little Jo Morton inspired quilt up on my blog anyway *smile*. Maybe I'll get this all down perfectly in November??
    I've enjoyed going blog hopping amongst the Charming Girls...such wonderful work by all.
