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."

Christmas Memories Giveaway!

'Tis the Season to be jolly and to make special Christmas memories!  We'd like to hear about your favorite Christmas memories -- and maybe help to make a few more by sending you a special treat from our shop

1867_20269 
perhaps there is a Fat Quarter Bundle you'd like

16040LC
or maybe a Layer Cake or Jelly Roll,

HomeTweetHome
or maybe some pretty patterns

19360PP
or maybe some cute Charm Packs and a Schnibbles pattern?     


So here's what you need to do -- visit our shop Cotton Charm Quilts, and make a list of items you'd like (please give us a few options -- quilt kit, fat quarter bundle, layer cake, jelly roll, pattern, etc).  

Then, write a post on your blog about your favorite Christmas memories.  Then post a comment here with your link!  If you don't have a blog, you can post your comment here!  And, don't forget to include your Wish List of Goodies!

Among a few other prizes we plan to give, one lucky quilter will win this "Stella Blue" quilt kit

034

I have one to match it -- so maybe we could Quilt Along on this together, because as I laid this out to take a photo and saw the pretty fabric, I really wanted to start making it.

The kit includes the pattern

032 

and all of the fabric to make the quilt top and binding.  The quilt is 78" x 78" finished, and all of the fabric is by Minick & Simpson from Moda!

If you'd be interested in this kit, and perhaps making this quilt with me -- be sure to add it to your Wish List!

My favorite Christmas memories are with the kids.  On Christmas Eve, the kids laid out cookies and milk for Santa

003
and went to bed -- while Studly and I stayed up into the wee hours of the morning -- me stuffing the stockings and wrapping the presents, and Studly assembling toys!

In the morning, the we'd hear the kids in the living room, rustling through the packages.

Then, they'd run to our room saying "Get up, get up - Santa came, Santa came!!!"

And then I'd say -- "HE DID!  What did he bring me??" 

The kids would always say "Nothing!"  And I'd say, "But I was SO good this year." 

And, they were like --heh, too bad, "get up, get up so we can open our presents."

Then, they excitedly went through their stockings

004

 and opened their presents

008

I MISS THOSE DAYS!

As they got older

006
(you know, into the teenage years), things changed!

It was me jumping on their beds saying -- "Get up, Get up -- Santa Came"!


Can't wait to read your favorite Christmas Memories!  We'll announce our winners on Christmas Day!

TTFN,

Kelly

Stuffed & Ready

No, not my Christmas turkey or the stockings!  In fact, I still have Christmas shopping to finish, I haven't been to the grocery store, and I haven't even started the wrapping or baking. 

But, my "Tuffets" are all finished

026
(a girl has to have priorities--right??) for my December "Year of Schnibbles". 

028

I love them so much--and I love this club (it encourages me to take time out from the busyness of life to do something I really enjoy)!

Speaking of the "Year of Schnibbles" club, I won a prize last month, and Corrie at Quilt Taffy

030

sent me these goodies.  Thanks again, Corrie.

Can't wait to see the "Schnibbles" on tap for January.

TTFN,

Kelly
