The big reveal, part one

Is this the best time of year, or what? Seventy degrees and sunny during the day, with cool, clear evenings: what more could you want? Tonight was the first of three consecutive outdoor movie nights at our apartment complex, and the three of us snuggled under a blanket to watch Hitchcocks's Rear Window. Tsia was excited to wear her fuzzy winter p.j.s again. I can hardly wait to dig out the sweaters, tights and wool skirts again. A little apple picking would make it all perfect.


Well, I told you a while ago that we're reprinting the backpack pattern, right? As it turns out, the pattern will be carried by Moda/United Notions, who distribute patterns by many other designers to quilt shops all over the place.

Additionally, the backpack will be featured as part of the Moda booth at International Quilt Market in Houston this October. I'm rather excited, to say the least, and have been busily selecting fabrics and making a few samples for the booth and the showrooms at Moda. And I'll get to see the display for myself, since I'm going to attend the show as well!

But more about that later. See part two, to come.
