Wacky Pac Quilters

Getting set up at Alford Inn, Van Alstyne, TX!

Kathy's "Little Person" quilt. KathyL's Blooming Nine Patch Annie's thinking about starting a new project. Kathy L's Star quilt which she started when on vacation with her hubby. (By hand) Charlotte's Stain Glass quilt. She's recently finished it after 2 years of working on it off and on. Annie's partial Nickel Square quilt. This pic does not do it justice. Another quilt from Charlotte. Sisters!

The Usual Suspects (WackyPac Members)......KathyL, Charlotte, Patty, Molly , Annie, Rhonda , Jerri, KathyE and Kathleen . Yippie Skippy....it's almost time for another "Wacky" retreat. We have already invited the "WestCoastWackies" to join up, in spirit, as we plan on sewing up a storm, eating healthy (sort of), laughing until base-layers are ruined and getting some rest, when needed. If you'd like to sew along with our groups the date is May 13-17. We'll be out of touch as we'll need to concentrate on some serious sewing time but will take plenty of pics to share with everyone on our personal blogs and the "Wacky" blog.

Some finished Red, White, and Blue Blocks for our swap, some attached borders, and some wrapped up other swap obligations. We also learned some blogging skills from each other. We all assume that we all know what the others know until we get to gether and begin to talk and then we start saying, "WHAT---HOW DO YOU DO THAT?" Also we made a pact to keep up with our group blog better. Each will be responsible for it in a designated month. I am the first one for November so here is my first attempt. The retreat food was great as, usual. Several recipes were requested to be posted. I will do that as they come in. Here are the first ones: ANNALE'S POPPYSEED CAKE 1 YELLOW BUTTER CAKE MIX 4 EGGS 3/4 CUP OIL 1/2 CUP SUGAR 8 OZ. SOUR CRE...

We felt so privileged to retreat at Lakeview Methodist Conference Center. The grounds are scenic, the lodging comfortable and the people friendly. This area is called the Prayer Circle. It was very peaceful there as you could imagine. I love birdhouses and found this one unique. To see more pics of what went on at the retreat visit Kathy , Kath , Rhonda , & Molly .
