Yippee!!!! I found out that I did indeed sign up in time for BackTack III. (I guess I shouldn't have been too worried since I had three tabs opened in the Mozilla browser: the world clock, backtack, and gmail. I think that I sent off the email within the first 2 minutes.) This should be so much fun. I was so jealous and inspired by all the people's projects for BTs I & II that it was part of the impetus to finally start my own blog. So now I get to figure out what type of softie I should make for Nancy of Belle Epoque just up the coast in San Francisco. I'll have to get out all the lovely black & white fabrics from my stash and see what looks interesting to me.
