Some good news!

Just wanted to share some good news from the Quilt Dad household ...

My wife was admitted this week to the PhD program at UNC-Chapel Hill! This is something she's been working towards for years, and I couldn't be prouder of her.

What does this mean for me? Two things:

First, it is likely that we will be moving some time this spring or summer to Chapel Hill. We live in Cary now, which is about 40 minutes away from Chapel Hill, but with our twins starting kindergarten this fall and with my wife having a more flexible student schedule, it seems to make a lot more sense for her to be close to the kids rather than commuting from home. Plus, we LOVE Chapel Hill, so no complaining here! We're very excited about returning to the "scene of the crime" (we both went to undergrad at UNC, met there, I proposed there, we got married there, yada yada yada ... and the rest is history : )

Second, her returning to school will most definitely put a bit of a crimp in my fabric budget. OK, mild complaning about that one ... {harumph harumph}. But it will all be worth it in the end!

So stay tuned for more updates as we begin house hunting, etc. You know that a dedicated studio space is at the top of my wish list!

And to keep this post somewhat quilt-related ...

I'm a bit smitten with this fabric line. I haven't gotten my hands on any yet, though. If you've made any projects with it, I'd love to see it! Let me know ...

Massive winter storm warning here in NC tonight ... should be an interesting weekend ... ... ...
