I want to thank you for the heartfelt wishes you sent my way after I announced that I became an aunt in the last newsletter. I must admit that I've been a little distracted since then. Not only am I sewing for the little one, I am also getting ready to make my second coat. Even though it's still pretty nice here in New England, the winters can really creep up pretty quickly. So I want to be prepared.

The contest committee and I have been busy reading the results of the 2010 contests poll and in a few weeks, we'll have the final list for next year.

Speaking of next year, I can't even begin to tell you how exciting it is going to be. The PR Book manuscript is ready! If all goes well we should see the book in the first half of next year.

And with three PR Weekends planned next year, I am hoping we'll have a lot more fun too. Not to mention the new features and ideas which will be rolled out in the next few months.

In the next week or so, we'll hit the 200,000 member mark! Can you believe it? And what a coincidence that it'll happen in November, which is also PatternReview's birthday month.  (we'll be 8 years old on the 28th). We're making cupcakes to celebrate!


Happy Sewing,
