Sweet Harmony

Summer feels like it's slowing slipping away. The kids are almost ready to start school again and I'm beginning to feel the subtle hints of Fall.  The smell of a fresh cut field,  the cooler evenings and my urge to sew is finally returning!  I'm not exactly sure why Fall is my favorite time of year..... it just makes me feel good.


It's been a while since I've released a new fabric line and this one I think is my favorite yet.  Sweet Harmony is light and playful, full of life and joy.   Sometimes life is hard, we all have challenges, I have plenty of my own, but I can put those aside here and there and enjoy what I love.....creating and sewing.  What little or big things make your life Sweet Harmony? 

Market

Melda and I are back from International Quilt Market hosted this year in Portland Oregon. This is our booth. We showed Lilly Belle Signs for the first time and I have to say I wasn't expecting everyone to love them so much. Of course I..... think they are great.......... but it was fun to see everyone so excited about them.

 

  

This was our Nerd Chic Day.  Harriet on the left...me in the middle....and Melda (my besty) on the right.  Harriet is my Design Director with Henry Glass.  Your the best Miss Harriet!

The Carry On is one of our new bags.  Available as soon as I get them uploaded to my website.

The Quilt Pattern Sketchy is shown behind in a throw size.

 

This is Sketchy in the baby size with the ruffle option.

 

Summer Afternoon is our first stitchery.

Check out our website to see all of our newest patterns and vinyl at www.katicupcake.com.  That's it for now, but I will try and get more fun market pictures uploaded soon.  Hope you all have had a great Memorial Day weekend.

How Could Life Get Any Better - Nik Day

My daughter pulled out a CD from a pile of CD's I have on my desk.....It was playing in the background as I was trying to work. But I couldn't get mad, because the music made me smile! I enjoyed a couple songs which brought back so so so many memories...good ones and some that are a little harder to remember just because they make me cry, but the sweet music was so comforting to me. It was Nik Day. Let me tell you a little bit about what I know about Nik Day.


Years ago when I first opened my quilt shop back in 2006, my sister told me about this young kid that was going to be playing (music that he wrote himself...... some at a very young age) at this little place (I can't remember the name of it...imagine that!) anyway.

My sentences keep running on and on...sorry!

My husband and I went and watched him play and sing with my sister Julie and her husband Nick. It was such a fun night! Soon after my sister brought me over a couple CD's one was just piano music and another one was one of his first CD's he produced of his own music. Maybe his first. Not quite sure on the details.  I played it in my quilt shop for years.  Every once in a while a college student woud come in and recognize the music.  I have watched him grow and find himself in his music and it has really been a cool thing to watch. My watching has been from the side lines. I'm not a family member, or a close friend, just someone who loves his love for music.  I can't wait to see what's next!

When I got sick...my sister Julie wanted to do something special for me. She suggested a benefit concert. I told her no that I didn't want one and she said I've already talked to Nik Day (who is also a college student at BYU in Utah) and he wants to do it. I really didn't know what to think or say. He took an entire weekend out of his busy life and gave it to me and my family, so did many others that weekend.

Listening to his music today made me remember that I wanted to share his music with all of you!  I hope you enjoy it.  You can also check out his website here!

Thank you Julie for your unconditional love and to everyone else who participated in that event!

I love you all! xoxo

Nik Day....Keep on Rock'n!
