    Your pic of the fabric is much nicer than mine :) That probably says a lot about our personalities- are you really organized and neat?? (I'm not :)

    I am excited like you-- it is so fun to try new techniques and then to see the end product- I can't wait!!!!!!

    How exciting! Congratulations! I met Chrissie at the Halifax Arts Festival a couple years ago and she did a custom "family rules" piece for me. Can't want to see the book!
