Wacky Pac Quilters

143 down 357 to cut. Just look at all those tiny, little squares. If you're wondering what this is all about, it's all about "Charm" quilts. The Wackies decided on the next challenge for the fall. Well two of us cooked it up, the rest kind of nodded in confused delirium.......LOL..........our goal is to cut and bag 100 different fabrics measuring 2 1/5 inches for 8 participating Wackies . Even though I was not in the original "cooking up" part, I have been cutting my little buns off. I've bagged the allotted sets of 100 and am now cutting the rest of my own goal of 800 tinny, little squares!!!!!!!!!! Molly , Annie, Kathy and Kath have begun but I'm trying to get there first....... hehehehehehe

Go Debbie, go Debbie ! If you are wondering why we're cheering, it's because Debbie got very creative with her pincushion . It's a cute rabbit terrier. She receives our "You Go Girl" award. Go Debbie go out and have an ice cream on the "Wackies!"

Time's almost up! February 5th at 8PM.........is the Pincushion Challenge deadline. You can do this! Remember, take a picture of your pincushion and e-mail it to the "wackies". We will post it for you. We would like to thank those who participated in this little self challenge, in advance. It's great to step outside your personal boxes, think in another direction or just browse for ideas.

Step up and see the first entry in the Wacky Pincushion Challenge submitted by Debbie at Makin Quilts. Debbie says (and I quote) "well... here it is.... I decided to go slightly unconventional here... and pincushion one of my dogs - LOL.... it's functional as well as darn cute... plus I will send it on to Boston Terrier Club of Canada Rescue as a donation." Way to go Debbie!!! A very cute, clever and original. Thank you Debbie for your submission.

I have been thinking of posting here for several weeks. Tonight, after several drinks, I am doing it--the reason? -------to offer a CHALLENGE to you Wackies. Yes, once again, I am , I am, I am, Uh--well, uh---YES I AM, I am suggesting a CHALLENGE. I am thinking that a pincushion swap would be fun for Christmas. This link takes you to a page of free pincushion patterns. Some of them are really really cute. Or you could come up with one on your own. I know, I know, we are so busy. You are right--I have gone off the deep end------------------once again. You can let me have it--go ahead--both barrels--I can take it---------------------------tell me how you really feel by commenting.
