Wacky Pac Quilters

A email asking for scraps (friend traveling to Mexico plans to teach quilting) prompted me to cle an. My small sewing area was getting really crowded. STUFF EVERYWHERE!!! I am sure all of yours are neat and tidy with no stuff stacked to the ceiling!! I managed to bag up 3 garbage bags of fabric, rulers, and other stuff and in the process, straightened up and clean out. I sent fabric that I can't believe I ever bought. Getting rid of it gets rid of the guilt that I will not be using it. It will be used to make beautiful quilts by SOMEONE ELSE!! Things look slightly more tidy now, especially the closet . Tell me---do you think this is the before? or the after picture? Hey all you Wackies--I challenge you to clean and give your extra fabrics to Ann. She needs it for the ladies in Mexico and you benefit by getting rid of fabric you don't even like anymore, but feel guilty about not using. I know you love a good challenge---Take all to Kathy L's and Ann will pick it up.

Just a little trip down "memory lane". Kathy L and Charlotte are manning the Guild booth at one of the last shows we helped with. The lovely quilt on the right is Kathys. Does anyone remember anything about the one on the left? I don't remember the year. Some of you might. I remember that the lady who is Bear Thread Designs was there and Nancy from Nancy's Quilt Block in Waco. Is this the show the year that Kathy E was president? If so, no wonder it was our last show (Just kidding). What a wonderful Quilty life we have led. It led us straight to each other. I am so grateful.

Before the Wacky Women, before the Wacky Pac, there were the "Sewing Sisters". The time was around 1999. Please correct me if I am wrong. We are standing in front of Hancocks. Patty, Kathy, and Molly made the trip with a lady whose partner got sick and she could not drive herself. We took the opportunity to go with a tour guide as she had been before and knew the ins and outs. We stayed with a lovely couple who rent the extra rooms in their home during the Quilt Show and give the money to their church. We really had a great time. There were a few "incidents", but on the whole, it was a fun trip. BUT, from now on we will only load up with the WackyPac.
