Wacky Pac Quilters

Last Friday, three members of the Wacky Pac Quilters went to Tyler, Texas, to attend the East Texas Quilt Guild Show. It was a great show with lots of beautiful quilts. Here is a picture of us eating at Mercado's Mexican Food Restaurant. Pictured L to R are: Kathleen, Rhonda, and Kathy.

Four Wacky Women pooled their Hot Flash Mystery fabrics to make this great quilt. We worked furiously for two days and this is the results. We decided to give it to Melissa Picha, the owner of The Compass Center. She sponsered a great shop hop which ended with a great musical....Menapause The Musical in Dallas. We have never laughed so hard. If you haven't seen it, please go!

Pics from the cruise

Well the Wacky Pac has made it home after a wonderful quilting cruise in the Western Carribbean. We had a great time -- no one got sick and we made many, many memories. We took LOTS of pictures so be sure and watch our blog for future posts with pictures.

This quick Shoefly type quilt was made by Kathy L. for a quilting class she is developing for next month at Grimes Sewing Center in Palestine, Texas. The quilt is made from scraps that she had left over from another project. It's always great when you can use up some of those scraps! Kathy is also a longarm quilter and one of our "wacky" members.
