Some Fav's From My Ipod

Sappy Chick Flicks Kate & I Like To Watch While Sewing

 SPOILER ALERT: If you haven't watched these, reading our "favorite lines" might ruin the ending for you!

The Notebook

Allie: "Say you're a bird."
Noah: "If you're a bird, I'm a bird."

and

Noah: "Your mother is my home."


Life Or Something Like It



Lanie: "Things happen. Things you never see coming. Then you think afterward-' If I had known this, would I have changed things. Would I have done more? Or, would I be thinking - 'I need more time?'"

Pete: " Let's just say that Prophet Jack was right in one version of the universe . . . maybe he tapped into some wave length where in this version of your life, you do in fact die next Thursday. But, maybe if you change the path, change the path your currently on, the outcome is going to be different.
Lanie: "But, I've worked so hard on this one."

The Story Of Us




Ben: "What was your High and Low today."

and

Katie: "I'm saying Chow Funs because we're an us . . . And, God you're a good friend and good friends are hard to find . . . I'm saying Chow Funs because I love you!"

Footloose

Ariel: "What's the matter?"
Ren: "You're beautiful."
Ariel: "What?"
Ren: " I mean it, you are beautiful."

While You Were Sleeping

Jack: "Marry me."
Lucy: "Ya, I love you."
Jack: "I love you back."
Lucy: "So, I had planned to marry Peter, but I married Jack instead. Thank goodness my father was right. Life doesn't always work out the way you planned. But Jack . . . Jack gave me the perfect gift-a stamp in my passport. He took me to Florence for our honeymoon. I guess you could say he gave me the world. Peter once asked me when it was that I fell in love with jack and I told him, 'it was while you were sleeping.'"

Sixteen Candles



Jake: "Make a wish, Samantha."
Samantha: "It already came true."

Some Kind of Wonderful

Watts: "So, how do they look?"
Keith: "You look good wearing my future."

My Big Fat Greek Wedding



Maria (Toula's Mom): "The man, he is the head. But, the woman, she is the neck, and she can turn the head any way she wants."

The Family Stone



Meredith: " I try, I try . . . ."
Ben: "Maybe you should stop, just stop trying. It's exhausting - trying to keep that lid screwed on so tight. Just relax. Try it."
Meredith: (trying to lean back and relax) " I'm not comfortable."
Ben: " Here's the thing, Meredith. You have a freak flag-you just don't fly it."

Along Came Polly

Rueben: "I assess risk for a living . . . so I try to manage that risk by avoiding danger, and having a plan, and knowing what my next move is, and I guess you don't exactly live your live your life that way."
Polly: " No, I do it . . . I do it a little differently."

Fried Green Tomatoes

Evelyn:"And, if you won't listen to reason - there's always TOWANDA!"

Sweet Home Alabama

Melanie: "I'm happy in New York, Jake. But then I come down here, and this fits, too."
Jake: " Since when does it have to be one or the other? You can have roots and wings, Mel."

Ho Ho Ho -- Time to Swap!

Hello all of you Charming Girls!  Joan and I are so excited to announce the first Charming Girls' Quilt Club

Secret santa bling
 

SO FUN!  We'll be doing a Christmas Exchange for Christmas.  Those who sign-up will get to be a Secret Santa to someone, and will also be assigned their own Secret Santa. 

You can make anything you want for the swap -- a bag, stocking, ornament, table runner -- the options are endless.  And, if you're running short on time, you can even buy something quilt related to send to your swap partner. 

Our lovely Charming Co-Leader, Joan, will be hosting the swap, so visit Joan's Blog for all of the details on how to sign-up--hurry, you need to sign up by November 22! 

What a fun way to spread some Christmas Cheer!  Ho Ho Ho -- (an early) Merry Christmas -- and Happy Swapping!

TTFN,

Kelly

Time To Quilt!

Hi there Girls.  I can't believe it's time to quilt already.

There are no special instructions this week

019
Some will use their regular machines, some a long arm.  Some will quilt by hand, and others may have them professionally quilted.

022 
I used a fall pantograph called "Pumpkin Patch" for mine.

Quilt as Desired--I know they are all going to be lovely.

TTFN,

Kelly
