Wacky Pac Quilters

Jerri was always trying to get her Bridge and Wackies friends together.  It finally happened. We'll always treasure the times we shared with our friend, Jerri.

Today the quilting world lost a prolific and talented quilter. Our dear Wacky Pac Sista, Jerri, lost her battle with cancer. She was such a 'trooper' and defied the odds so many times. She passed peacefully in her sleep at approximately 5 a.m. this morning. Jerri was the life of the party. She was a fine Christian woman who loved the Lord. She also loved life, loved her family and friends and loved quilting. She was always just a phone call away....she had "Peeps" always available to help in any situation. Jerri leaves behind a wonderful husband, Rex, who was a true angel. He never left her side. A son and daughter-in-law and two beautiful little granddaughters. She also leaves a whole host of friends who will miss her dearly. My friend, I'll be seeing you on the other side one day. Put in a 'good word' for me with the Big Guy and tell my Mama I said I miss and love her. I can't wait to see all the beautiful quilts you will make in Heave...

Then you need to go here ! Fresh Modern Quilts is displaying some beautiful and inspirational quilts on their Flikr group. I have 'drooled' all over my laptop!!! LOL! Go take a look and get inspired like I did.

Have you ever wanted to make a Feathered Star???? Our Wacky, Molly , is very good at making them and was even a tester for Marsha McCloskey. She worked on the block at a retreat and we kept hearing "Marsha, Marsha, Marsha"! I guess you had to be there -- LOL. I have stumbled across this blog with detailed instructions and thought some of you may be interested in taking a 'gander' at this person's blog .

Do you ever get confused on which needle to use for certain types of sewing???? If so, Feeling Stitching has posted a great article on needles over at her blog. Go over and take a look -- very interesting.

Go over to Molly's Place and check out her new BOM "Tree Time".  Molly is one of our very talented Wacky Sisters.   http://sewhappy10000.blogspot.com/

Since we are in the midst of the SuperBowl, here is a really good dip recipe that Wacky Kathleen shares: Beer Cheese Dip 1 pkg (8oz) Cream Cheese, softened 1/4 cup Ranch Dressing 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese 1/4 cup Beer 2 Green Onions, chopped Beat cream cheese and dressing in medium bowl w/mixer until well blended. Stir in remaining ingredients. Refrigerate for serveral hours or until chilled. If you like a little "kick" to your dips, add some jalepeno peppers or green chilies.
