It was my copy of Stitch magazine, their 'Stitch with Style' special issue!You can find this magazine at your favorite fabric shop, or Pink Chalk Fabrics...

Melody Miller's booth was actually the first one that I visited at Quilt Market. I hopped off the escalator, and I was right there. It was like magic. I was by myself, and a little nervous about some meetings I had scheduled that day. And nervous to meet Melody because I'm a chicken. I can't remember what exactly I...
