Hello all of you Charming Girls out there! Isn't it hard to believe that this is our 1st Anniversary? Okay, let's all sing together - "Happy Anniversary - to us! Happy Anniversary - to us! Happy Anniversary to uuu-sss! Happy Anniversary - to US!! And many more!"
As I look back on it - we really had a great first year! We got to meet a lot of new people, to share quilting inspiration, we finished A LOT of quilts and projects, we had a couple of swaps, a couple of quilt alongs - and had some REALLY fun sewing parties!
It's time to kick off a new year in the club - with a few changes!
Alright - this is a sorta long post - so you know the drill - random picture time!
(4th of July Decor)
I shared with all of you that I have been making some changes in my life in the Transition post. After reading all of the comments, I really started thinking about the Club-and how we might make it better! I contacted several people who were kind enough to share their input with me (BIG thanks again to all of you)!
Bottom line is this - when this club is all said and done - I don't want the end result to be that we all just made more quilts! We have a WONDERFUL group of women gathered here with so much more than just quilting to share!!!
(Peach Tart with Apricot Glaze)
And, in the end, I want us all to be able to say "My life as a whole was better because I was part of this club - I learned from and was encouraged by these women - who became my friends. And, I was able to share my gifts and encourage them, too!"
And, I want to keep it FUN!!!
So, here is what we'll be doing for the next year:
Bi-Monthly Goals / Priorities
1. We are switching from posting goals every month to every other month. A month moves by so quickly - and I think this will ease the pace for all of us a bit. So, you'll have until July 15 to list your goals/priorities for July & August.
2. There are some who like the club just as it is! Some prefer to keep their blogs about quilting only - and that is great! You can post your quilting goals for July and August on your blog.
(one of my original quilt designs - need to name this one)
3. For those who would like a bit more from the club - I want to extend the benefit we all get from assessing our priorities and listing them on our blogs. So, we will not only be listing our quilting goals, but also listing other life priorities we want to get to (i.e. date night with hubby, take the kids on a field trip, clean out my kitchen cabinets, lose five pounds, start walking every day . . .) - the sky is the limit!
So, take a step back and assess your priorities for July & August, and post them on your blog.
(page from the B-E-A-utiful scrapbook my daughter Kate made me for Mother's Day)
4. We'll do a drawing every other month for (2) prizes. For the August drawing, the prizes will each be a $25.00 gift certificate to our store.
5. For each goal/priority you complete - do a post about it on your blog, and post a comment on the finishes post with your link - and you'll get one entry in the drawing for each goal/priority you met (whether it be a quilt or a date with hubby or time with the kids, etc.)!
6. The "Finishes" post - the post to list the things you complete will be put up on July 15 - and we'll put the link to it behind the "Charming Girls' Quilt Club" logo to the left for easy access!
Monthly Themes
1. We will no longer be doing the tag each month.
2. Rather, we'll have a "Monthly Theme"! For those who would like to, I'll be asking that as you go about the month - keep the theme in mind - and share about the theme on your blog posts periodically throughout the month.
3. We'll have a "Monthly Theme" Logo to the left that will link to a post. You can go to this post to comment with the link to your blog posts where you share about the theme - and also to find blog posts from other members who have shared!
4. Sometimes the theme will relate to quilting - and sometimes it will relate to other aspects of our lives like cooking, organization, great books, family fun, etc.
(Nice People Nice Things Block)
5. I'm excited about the monthly themes - and hope that many of you will participate! We all have strengths and weaknesses - and girls - I truly believe that we can learn SO MUCH from each other! I know I'm really excited to learn from all of you - and hopefully I'll have some good things to share with all of you, too!
Other Fun Stuff
We'll still being doing the other fun club things we've done in the past - quilt alongs, swaps, and sewing parties - DEFINITELY sewing parties!
(no explantion necessary LOL!)
How To Join
1. If you were a member last year and want to join us again this year, please post a comment here by July 15, letting me know that you still want to be part of the club.
2. If you have not been a member, but would like to participate in the club and you have a blog, then you can post a comment here stating that you'd like to participate by July 15. In your comment, you'll need to include your first name and your blog link!
After the 15th, I'll create a new "Club Member List" with links.
3. I'm sorry, but for now we are not accepting any NEW members without blogs (of course, we're keeping Pam W. and Liz M. - you know we heart you girls - smile)! If you do not have a blog, but would be interested in joining - please let me know - as I'm considering starting a flickr group for those without blogs - but want to see what interest we might have.
I'm really looking forward to our next Charming year together!
I'm off to think about my priorities for July & August!
(and you can bet "Flower Sugar" will make the list)
Back later with our "Monthly Theme" Post!
SORRY - Membership Has Been Closed!
TTFN,
Kelly
Oh Kelly, this is a great idea. We do have so much to learn from each other and this will help to bring everyone closer. I hope that Pam and Elizabeth can start a blog and join. I do have other goals other than quilting and I'll be sure to post them. Thanks!!
Posted by: Linda | July 01, 2010 at 06:30 PM

Posted by: Michelle | July 01, 2010 at 08:05 PM
I'm still in! The changes sound fresh and exciting. I can't wait to hear about the THEME!!!!
Posted by: CJ | July 01, 2010 at 08:21 PM
I think you did a great job last year and you even put up with me who would be a "semi-active kind of member. I would love to give it another try and organize myself. I think your group of charming guys and gals are much more than charming- and I would love another year to get to know everyone better! Thanks for last year & Cheers to a job well done Kelly!

Keep up the good work im loving this! :o) :o)
Posted by: Kimmie | July 01, 2010 at 09:24 PM
Of course you know I am still in Kelly! I think this will be even more fun than last year ☺
I've got to think about my goals now...

Yay I can join in!! I'd like to join as a new member please, my name is Susan and my blog is http://www.piecefulthreads.blogspot.com.

Posted by: SoozeM | July 01, 2010 at 10:08 PM
I would love to stay on as a continuing member! I Love this club! And I think that adding a more 'personal' touch is a brilliant idea!
Posted by: Erin | July 01, 2010 at 10:48 PM
Hi Kelly!
So nice to have the opportunity to join this year. I loved to follow you all pursuing your goals with so much success & I love not to have something FINISHED but to meet my own PRIORITIES...great concept!
I hope to revisit blogging - becoming a charming girl is really a "bribe" to blog regularly... (it's not that I don't want to, but after a while it's getting quite daunting considering the biiig pile of things that are untold (unblogged)...so, I'll try a fresh start!).
In hope to qualify as a CGC member,
Julia
Posted by: Julia | July 02, 2010 at 03:36 AM
Oh YES Kelly I want to keep my spot! I LOVE it here! You did a great job with the tweeks...love what you did. You're right a month goes by so darn fast. I am over the top in love with your quilt with no name. It is absolutely beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: Carol | July 02, 2010 at 04:05 AM
Count me in for another year!!
Posted by: Cathi | July 02, 2010 at 04:24 AM
Definetly count me in again. I have really enjoyed having the 'goals' and have gotten some UFOs completed. Kelly, you have done a great job with this Charming Club! Can't wait to see everyone's goals.
Posted by: Anita Amodeo | July 02, 2010 at 04:42 AM
Your red, white and blue quilt looks like a "Firecracker" to me! :0)
Posted by: Terry | July 02, 2010 at 04:47 AM
I'm in again too. Although I've been quiet lately (I need a transitions post of my own!) I'm definitely ready to set a few goals and get things done! I think that your quilt should be called "Fireworks Frenzy". That was my first thought when I saw the picture!
Posted by: Carolyn | July 02, 2010 at 04:57 AM
I'm in, too.
Oh, and as a side note I agree that quilt looks like Firecracker to me.
Posted by: Dandelion Quilts | July 02, 2010 at 05:50 AM
Count me in. I've been watching from the sidelines. So happy you have found room for a few new members. Hope I make the list.

Well, well, well, Kelly - I am MISSING you BIG time. It ALL sounds good to me. I DEFINITELY want to remain a part of the Club. I have so much fun with it.
May I ask your permission for this: Hubby and I are off in our RV, headed towards Sisters, Oregon for the quilt show that takes place all next week. May I please post my goals upon our return. It'll be a couple days after the 15th, that weekend of the 17th when I can get to my Goals List.
Infact, I'm packing up the RV TODAY!! But I don't want to miss out on being a Charming Girl Club member. You all are such a sweet group! AND - there's ALWAYS chocolate around...........LOL.....even on THIS post...LOL...and I'm ALL ABOUT Chocolate...LOL
I'll take lots of pics to share upon our return.

I would love to join you this year.
Posted by: Brenda | July 02, 2010 at 07:19 AM
Yes! I want to be in the club again this coming year! Good idea on the change to every other month for quilting goals. I've been working on a new king size quilt and would like to get it done by the end of August.
Posted by: Marilyn | July 02, 2010 at 08:08 AM
Oh yes I'm in again too please!! :-) I loved setting goals and seeing what I could accomplish this past year, and I loved the sew alongs! Thank you so much for all the fun Kelly! Have a great weekend! I'll be posting my goals after the Sister's Show too. ;-)
Posted by: call me crazy | July 02, 2010 at 08:54 AM
Yes I'd like to continue (although sometimes life is too busy, but I still try!!)
Has the logo changed again-I noticed it's different in this post?!
Posted by: Karen | July 02, 2010 at 09:14 AM
First...congratulations on your Anniversary. Applause and ticker tape coming at ya!!! Second, I've been meaning to ask about the club and how to join. Have a wonderful weekend.
Posted by: Nancy | July 02, 2010 at 09:49 AM
I would love to join. It sounds like fun. And it will help me in finishing my quilting and life goals. I like that.

Thanks for organizing this group. I've been following it all last year.
Hugs Ariane
Posted by: Ariane | July 02, 2010 at 11:54 AM
I am definitely in again. It has been a fun year meeting quilty friends, sharing ideas and thoughts. It does help me focus on finishing projects and since I work full time the goal setting is good for limited sewing time. Thanks for your time and energy and unending optimism!
Posted by: annieb | July 02, 2010 at 01:14 PM
Oh, I want to join, I have been reassessing a lot of things this week. It is a milestone in my life, I will be married 25 years on the 4th. Great wedding day, never have to work, husband NEVER forgets and there is always fireworks.
The reassessing is my "fabric collection" grows and grows but my intimidation with cutting never seems to get better. Have to work on that :)
Posted by: Mary R | July 02, 2010 at 01:39 PM
Happy 1st birthday!!! you put a lot of thinking into this. I definetely want to join again and hopefully i will manage to achieve some of my goals. i haven't been very good recently so that will get me started. Thanks for all the great work
Posted by: Peggy | July 02, 2010 at 02:20 PM
Hi Kelly, I would like to join the fun for a year.

I would like to join-CBQ twisted my arm(not to hard)
Posted by: Bridget B | July 02, 2010 at 02:55 PM
Definitely count me in again! I've accomplished a lot because of the goals/deadlines, and having two months is even better. I too, love all the changes you've proposed, and can't wait to get started. Bring on the first theme!
Posted by: Sunny | July 02, 2010 at 04:19 PM
Wow Kelly, you have really given a lot of thought to this - good job!
Posted by: Allie | July 02, 2010 at 05:02 PM
I think I would like to join the fun...
But,
do we have to have finishes each month, or can "progress" be a goal that is met?? I am working on BOMs (block of the month) and I may finish a BLOCK but not a quilt....?
I love the camaraderie that I have already found out here in blog land and would love to join in here as well....
but I am a slow quilter :)
thanks, Kelly!

I am new to quilting and just love the idea of sharing ideas and inspiration
Love the idea of a few recipes popping in every now and then too ;-)

Hi Kelly,
It's been a while since I last posted on my blog but I'm ready to get back in the swing of things so I'd like to continue being a member of the club! I really like the changes that have been made, they fit right in with the direction that I am taking these days with my life. Looking forward to being inspired by all the talented ladies! I don't think I would have accomplished nearly as much as I have this past year if it weren't for the Charming Gals!
Posted by: Esther | July 02, 2010 at 09:56 PM
Hi Kelly, I am thrilled to have the opportunity to join! I've been reading along for a few months now and just love the concept of this club. I also like the idea of "life" goals too. I tend to mostly keep my blog about quilts, but would like to expand so this is the perfect opportunity. It will also give me more to blog about - I sometimes I feel like I don't have a lot to say. I am excited to be a Charming Girl! My blog is http://mylifeinquilts.blogspot.com Thanks again! Denise in PA
Posted by: Denise in PA | July 03, 2010 at 06:20 AM

What a shame that a blog is a prerequisite for joining The Charming Girls. Soon there will be no groups to join for my generation of quilters who do not blog, twitter or facebook and we still have so much to share and still need the friendships. I have down-sized my life and stash and "unplugged from the matrix" so have been very selective about which groups I join. I loved doing your quilt along recently. Very disappointed I will be excluded from joining your group.

Posted by: Polly | July 13, 2010 at 12:10 PM
Kelly, I would love to join but I don't have a blog and due to my Scleroderma and the accompanying issues and fatigue, I just can't meet the goals I would want with a blog so I will just follow along and do some of the projects as I can, for myself if not for the club. I love your blog and just have to peek at it often and explore older posts. I can be content with that, yup, yup, yup!
Big hugs....

Well... I put it off as long as I could. Believe me, it has been in my head ever since you posted you were accepting new members. I would LOVE to be a member of the Charming Girls Quilt Club. I am anxious to start "A NEW" and I hope I can keep up. Thanks for extending the invitation!!!
I can be found at...

Hi - it's Lucy here. I would like to remain a member if I could, but I don't have a blog. I will understand if you don't want to deal with that. My life had been crazy the past seven or eight months, but it is slowing down again and hopefully will stay that way!!

I have been following the antics of the Charming Girls (and Guys) Quilt Club for most of the year with my nosed pressed against the window pane wanting to play. Please put me on the list so I can hang out with the cool kids and be inspired by their wonderful quilting.

Well here goes nothing. I need a little jolt so maybe if I have others to keep me motivated that will be good. www.claudesquiltden.blogspot.com

Drat. I'm a day (or two) late in finding you and a dollar short! I guess this means I will spend *this* year simply following you all and be on top if it next year! This is a wonderful idea! :)
