Quilt Give-A-Way!

Okay. I've decided to turn over a new leaf. I'm a terrible blogger it's been almost two months, since my last post. I really am going to try really hard to become an insane/crazy blogger. I've already mastered the insane and crazy part. Blogging is the next step.

If you are doing any shopping on katicupcake.com, type in happynewyear for 15% off your entire purchase through the end of January! During check out you will be given a chance to put in any promo codes. I hope you have a wonder New Year!

In celebration of this fantastic year that awaits us all, I've decided to give away a quilt! How great is that! Make a comment and get entered to win! Link me to your blog and get two entries. Tell your friends and have them tell me you sent them our way and get 5 extra entries.

The quilt measures 44 1/2" x 63" and is made out of recess by american jane! I love her fabric

Okay, so I didn't die on the airplane! Everyone told me I wouldn't. I go through this every time I have to fly. If I don't make a big deal out of it now, that will be the time I actually crash! haha.

My Regan was so cute while I was away. When I talked to her on the phone she would say Mommy where are you? I want to go with you. It made my heart melt. I'm glad to be back with my family.

Houston really was fun, I enjoyed every minute! I went with a friend Sheri Howard who by the way has a book deal with Kansas City Star. She is going to be a star! When the book comes out, I will let everyone know and we will for sure have a book signing with Sheri.

We started our trip with a 3 hour drive to Salt Lake City, Utah. We mad a pit stop at Pipers Quilts and Comforts. Very cute shop. Our Trunk show is currently there. So if your close go check it out! They have the entire show!

I met up with my brother Sam and his bride Devanie later that evening. They took me to this old house, turned charming restaurant nestled on main street in Bountiful. It was an absolute delight. We sat right next to a fireplace, it was warm a cozy. The Sego Lily Cafe, located at 305 North Main Street, Bountiful Utah 801-294-3327. You wont be sorry you tried it!
This is my baby brother Sam and his wife Devanie. They have been married just a little over a year.
Sam and I in front of the Sego Lily Cafe
I love you Sam and Devanie!
I had the Arista. It was divine!

Yum Yum.

The Chef - I wrote his name down, of course I lost it.
He was gracious enough for a picture, so I could be a good blogger! haha

In Houston, My Moda Sales Rep Linda Burrup! She fell and hurt her knee at market. The poor thing she was hobbling the entire show. I hope your feeling better Linda! Thanks for the ginger snaps and the extra hunny bun!
The Buzz has started, everyone is talking about Howard Marcus's Collections for a Cause. The next line is called Legacy. The quilt hanging is the replicated quilt and the one cascading over the table is the real thing! Absolutely beautiful.

Legacy is what one leaves behind in an effort to enhance the care of future generations. The newest collection of reproduction prints from Howard Marcus is doing just that. The proceeds from Legacy go to to help fund the research to find a cure for Juvenile Diabetes. In ivory, soft blues, chestnut and double pinks the next quilt you make could be as beautiful as it is charitable.

Thank You Sandi

Wow, what a day! We had so much fun! A huge thanks to Sandi for sharing all her creativity with us, not to mention the quick photo lesson. Thanks to all that supported us and came by the shop or commented on our blog. You guys make it all worth while, thanks so much. So I have to tell you, Sandi left all these darling dresses at the shop, when Sunday morning rolled around I was wishing I had stayed up and made one for Regan to wear. So I'm NOT going to let another Sunday roll around before I get one made. I told my sister I was going to take the day off tomorrow lol and we are going do some serious sewing. I've never made a dress before so I'll keep you posted, I'll be sharing, so watch for my post in the next couple of days.
We really did have a great time, here are a few pictures of our day!


Thanks for the peach jam, Terry! I had some today, it was awesome! What a great gift idea.My Friend Whitney! Isn't she cute!

BYU Football & Material Girls

What about that BYU/UCLA Game. That was crazy insane. Saturday was my husband Scyril's Birthday, you guessed it, he's a BYU junky and he wanted to celebrate his b-day at the game. Happy Birthday sweety! We packed up the whole fam and headed down to Utah, for some BYU, Family and just a little quilting?! While we were down there I had to stop by to see my friend Nadine at The Material Girls in South Jordan. A couple of my quilts were there on a trunk show. It was fun to see them hanging in a store other than my own. We can thank my 13 year old Austin for these fabulous photos. It's getting closer to Saturday September 20th. Sandi Henderson will be at The Quilt Shoppe
with her trunk show and new patters! I can't wait! For those of you who won't be able to make it, watch for a special blog about our fun day with Sandi. Comment on this blog and you will be entered into our store drawing give-a-way! Winners will be posted Monday September 22nd!
