Five Busy Days

Life has been a whirlwind since last Thursday...Thursday at 9:00 PM Lizzy and I boarded a plane for Salt Lake City for a quick trip to have our hair done...fancy shamancy, let me tell ya; to see our little Ashlee, to hangout in SLC for a bit to visit quilt shops, eat at all of Ashlee's favorite restaurants (can we talk about Omar's!!! incredible), meet all of her bestest friends, and just have a little break.  It was such a quick trip, but so worth it!  Ashlee works at Salon Zazou, and they are miracle workers!  They treated me like royalty; I could get used to being pampered that way! 

Friday night we didn't have any plans, and we were hunting for something to do, when the phone rang, and a friend of Ashlee's called and asked if we wanted tickets to the Ballet!  We thought about it for about 2 seconds, and out the door we ran; what a magical time it was.  We saw the opening night of Balenchine's America.  If you are in SLC, and have the opportunity to go...go!!!  The first number was beautiful, the second number was a little funky, and the finale was glorious!

Saturday morning we met early for breakfast at the Market Street Grill...so good!  I was able to meet all of Ashlee's dearest friends, and have a nice visit with everyone.  Next thing you know...we were off, back to the airport, back to Houston, and back to work.  Lizzy's one yard sample cuts had arrived, and sewing was the order of the day.  Sunday was recovering from our trip, and creating Castle Peeps quilts for Market.  Word to the wise...measure twice, or thrice especially when you are jet lagged, exhausted, and operating on little sleep - especially when there is no fabric to waste, and your daughter is counting on you not to screw it up - lesson learned :-(

Then today was my interview with Pat Sloan!  The interview went well I think, I was nervous, but talking quilts is not a stretch for me, so all and all, it went well!  The interview is now able here...check it out, and let me know what you think.  If you listen or leave a comment on Pat's website you can win some fab prizes!

So, now I will take a deep breath, and then get back to work.  We are sewing Castle Peeps quilts as fast as we can, awaiting Lizzy's MIA fabric (ridiculous...ask her about it later), and working on a special quilt for these ladies here. 

Some special thank you's...

Thank you sweet Ashlee...I had the best time!

Thank you Mom for watching the pets!

The count down to Market has officially begun...

Cheers friends,

Cherri

Hi Cherri,
I just found your blog. I live in Spring. I started quilting several years ago and have found a new addiction.

I go to Salt Lake often, myself. We're going next week as a matter a fact. I was wanting to ask you what shops you like to hit.

Will you have a booth at the Quilt Show in October?
