Stack-o-happiness
July 28th, 2008
If happiness came in stacks, this is what it would look like.
My special delivery from Japan. A glorious collection of Lecien’s darling Minny Muu.
It’s as if someone crawled into my head and designed fabric just for me.
Too cute for words, even though there are words. I’m pretty sure it says something in French.
Wish I could show what I’m going to do with it - my secret project for Lecien! But that will have to wait until Fall. I’m pretty sure I’m going to make another Merry-Go-Round, and I’m thinkin’ I may do one out my Minny Muu’s secret project leftover fabric.
If there was an awards show for Best Comments Ever (and the Oscar goes too…), hands down my blog would win. Wolfgang Puck would be catering my after-party, and all you wonderful peeps who leave me the nicest (and funniest) comments would be the guests of honor. I’m so touched by each and everyone of them and I thank you so much! Sometimes I even show my parents, and remind them that those notes they’d get about me from school when I was a kid - notes from the principal, the counselors, the teachers… that one day they’d read something good about me. Thank you for proving me right! Please forgive me if my email replies slack in the next few weeks… but I’ve got me some sewin’ (and a couple of bloggie-goodies too) to do. Whoo whoo!

Farting around with needle & thread and then blogging about it.
It seriously took me 20 minutes to wipe up the drool from my keyboard before I could type this comment….that has to be some of the most luscious fabric I have ever seen IN MY LIFE!!!! I love you and I miss you!!!
July 28th, 2008Great fabric!! I went to my LQS today and noticed that they had some American Jane patterns. I was hoping they would have the Merry-Go-Round one but they didn’t. I was so bummed! I want to make one too!! I must want to be like you (the most lively zombie I have ever known!).
July 28th, 2008Ooooooooooo! Deer in the headlight moment! Mesmerized by the cutest, most wonderful fabric ever! Wowza! I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY like it.
July 28th, 2008Drool here too!
maybe i could stalk your mail carrier…i guess folks get in trouble for that. on second thought,i’ll admire it from afar.
July 28th, 2008OMG!!!!!!! That is some delicious wonderful awesome fabric!!! I love it of course. Can’t wait to see what your whipping up over there.
July 28th, 2008Those fabrics are so beautiful! Love them. Also the American Jane pattern you are making the quilt from is georgeous. I have a question though, how do you turn the binding on an inside corner? That one stumps me. I love the pattern.

July 28th, 2008Wow, that fabric is AWESOME! Fall - we have to wait until fall to see what you do with it! WHAAAAA

July 29th, 2008Oh wow Monica, that fabric is soooo cute! I really really love it. That is just my taste as well. I saw on www.fatquartershop.com that they have the Christmas Minny Muu, but this is even cuter. I can’t wait to see what you do with it! Your designs are so inspiring!

Yikes! I sure wouldn’t want to pay that postage from Japan. You got yourself a BUNCH of sweet fabrics there miss zombie! We’ll all be so anxious to see what you’re doing with it!!

July 29th, 2008Wow. You must feel like the luckiest woman in the world! 37 meters of Japanese fabric? And it is super cute? WOW! That’s like winning the Tour de Craft. You are wearing the yellow jersey my friend.
July 29th, 2008At what point do you stop stroking the fabric and start cutting into it? It is, as my sister used to say, “too-licious.” What a happy, happy fabric collection! You can’t help but smile when you see it.
July 29th, 2008Fabulous! I can’t muster more than that.
July 29th, 2008Your Merry GO Round is beautiful too. Want to loan me some talent?
You lucky duck! That fabric is adorable :) Can’t wait to see what it becomes!
July 29th, 2008Oh, you can’t show me more fabric!!! I already have a Japanese fabric addiction issue! These are so beautiful and sweet with the small prints! I can only imagine what beautiful things you have in store for all this fabric!

ooh how yummy I could just eat all of those fabrics up!! They look just sooo amazing I cannot wait to see what you do with them!
July 29th, 2008Ooooh such gorgeous colors! Hmm, they’re such teeny tiny prints and so luscious that I bet they’d make awesome tiny log cabins. :-)
July 29th, 2008Flattery will get you everywhere, my friend. ;) What a beautiful stack of pretties which I’m sure will be turned into something even more delightful by oh-so-talented you.
July 29th, 2008I applaud your courage to actually USE some of that fabulousness! The colours are too sweet…Gosh will stay tuned to see what lovliness you come up with!!
July 30th, 2008Love it all. Can’t wait to see what you do. ~jodi
July 30th, 2008oh dear……serious fabric envy here.
July 30th, 2008Those fabrics are beautiful and I love the way you’ve photographed them in all their glorious colors. I think I’d be tempted to treat them like pieces of art and make a giant shadowbox to hang on the wall for displaying the colorful layers. Oh, what fun you’re going to have with these delightful materials.
July 30th, 2008OH! That DOES look like a stack of happiness! I love it!
I love your quilt, too. It looks wonderful upon the cat perch and I bet they will appreciate it very much… um, got another chair somewhere?

July 30th, 2008Happiness in stacks. How true.. ooh noo.. don’t cut it up. hehe.. hang it up everywhere.. imagine a room with all it’s walls covered in it! And all the furniture was pink and orange!
July 31st, 2008LOVE that fabric! Where or where can I buy it??
July 31st, 2008(GASP!!) ETHEL!! I mean Monica!! I just HAVE to have that fabric …. but I’m over my fabric budget for the month …. er year…. er, century …. but I just HAVE to have it …. I have to come up with a plan ….. but Ricky, er I mean Dave can’t find out about it ….. hmmmmmm…
July 31st, 2008Yup, that looks like a stack of happiness alright! I’d have a hard time cutting into it, I’d kind of want to just leave the stack sitting there like a piece of artwork or something. Pretty fabric is so great, I feel sorry for people that don’t have the fabric addiction.
July 31st, 2008OMG, fabric happiness galore!! You lucky duck…jealousy abounds! What fabulous fabric and to be doing a super double secret project (maybe triple) for Lecien, how cool is that? I will be waiting with eyes wide open (except when sleeping) to see your, I’m sure, wonderful project!
August 1st, 2008I just want to eat that fabric! It’s like a great big lollipop! Looking forward to seeing what you do with it!

August 4th, 2008Oh my goodness! Heart attack here! I LOVE, ADORE all this fabric loveliness. It would take me a long time before I could cut into this. I would be too happy playing with it. Would you like to see my fabric stash? Come on over!!
August 4th, 2008Did you say “IF happiness came in stacks….”? Silly girl! OF COURSE it comes in stacks…and bolts…and fat quarters…..But I think you’ve got that happiest stack of all right there. I can’t wait to see what you’ve got planned!
August 4th, 2008Your comments show you are much loved and admired. You get a A on your report card Monica. I see Pam got the same fabrics. I’m in envyville. They are super darling! Of course. Just about any fabric from Japan makes me salivate.
August 4th, 2008Luscious! If only I could feel that gorgeous fabric through my monitor. Very purty!
August 4th, 2008I can’t wait to see what you do with this. I bought some while at quilt market and my little fat quarter stack still sits. Get busy! :)
