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.

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.
Moda Bake Shop Book!
This line will be available on line at Katicupcake.com and the Quilt Shoppe in Rigby March 2009
