Charming Girl's Quilt Club - August

12:23 AM | Posted by Mel

Well I'm counting the first month of the Charming Girl's Quilt Club a success for me even though I didn't get all my projects done. I did get 2 out of 3, so that's not too bad!

I really think the challenge helped to keep me focused to get the projects done. And I only started 4 new projects instead of a dozen!!

* * * * * AUGUST GOALS * * * * *

Finish Witchie Hats (my own design) for Jane's Spooktackular Halloween Swap. I'm making fifteen 12 1/2" paper pieced blocks - 12 for swapping and three for individual swaps.
DONE!!
Quilt my St. Paddy's wall hanging I made using Kim's FREE tutorial
DONE!!
Finish, quilt and send a little something for my parents. I'm not posting a picture because I want it to be a surprise!
DONE!!

OK, so I should be able to get these done! Before I start on those three, I need to make a few things for our family reunion this weekend. Hmm, maybe I have something laying around here I can use!

Good luck Charming Girls Everywhere!!

Charming Girl's Quilt Club - July

9:22 PM | Posted by Mel

I joined this fun group hoping to get some motivation to get more of my unfinished projects done! There are even prizes, so that should get me inspired!

Participants post an unfinished project(s) per month and for every finish, you get your name put into the monthly giveaway. Sounds like a good incentive to me!

There are other optional activities in the group like swaps and quilt alongs. I'm excited, go take a look and see if it interests you!

Here are the projects I want, no WILL finish this month:

Kathy's Simple Quilt (Sew Sweet original design) out of Glace by 3 Sisters for Moda. It will be 95" X 97". This is all I have done so far. Each block is 10".
DONE!!
Witchie Hats (my own design) for Jane's Spooktackular Halloween Swap. I'm making fifteen 12 1/2" paper pieced blocks - 12 for swapping and three for individual swaps.
DARN!!
I will have to carry this project over to August's 'To Do' list!
I would also like to get one of my quilt tops quilted, particularly my nephew Colin's.
DONE!!
