My chariot
April 1st, 2010
Mad dash for my camera… he’s here, he’s here! UPS is here… the wait is over! My Holiday Happy is here! Oh Topeka… my camera battery was dead. Luckily my iPad Mini (my iPhone) was charged. Even luckier for the UPS guy since I couldn’t ask to take his photo while he handed me my box-o-Lecien-happiness.
I was about to do a mad sweep of my dining room table with my arm (ala 1970’s tv sitcom - including mental laugh track). And then I realized I was too lazy to pick up all those pencils off of the floor. Dramatic box opening thwarted.
Hyperventilating, peeing my pants, my head exploding and my hands shaking like a quaking Aspen - I manage to fold each piece of half yard cuts. Stacking and re-stacking. Rotating the colors. More stacking. Re-folding into different configurations. Folding back to the way I first folded it. And then I tossed it all in the bathtub - and took a bubble-bath in it.
We went out to dinner with friends, and I packed it all up to take it with me to show them. My son says to me, “You’re taking it to the restaurant?”… I then mortified him when I said, “… and I’m taking it to Costco, and then the bank, and then on to the post office, and then to the grocery store. I may even go to the water district, the electric company, the newspaper office… an then to my doctor, my dentist and my veterinarian. I may even buy an infant car seat and buckle it in. And when I’m all done showing everyone I know - I’m going to get one of these and walk downtown and approach all the people I don’t know and show them.“ Yes. This is what I’m going to do. 
A brand new swatch card of Color Basic’s. Tons and tons of color me happy matches. Part of me can’t wait to start making samples… and a bigger part of me can’t bear to cut into it. Maybe it’ll be easier when the bolts arrive?
Thank you everyone who cheered me, gave me lovin’s, made me laugh, made me blush and warmed my heart. There are no words I can find to express the joy of being a recipient of such kindness. There is no better community then the quilting, sewing, needleworking and crafting community. From the bottom, top, sides and middle of my heart… THANK YOU - xoxo!

How exciting for you!!
April 2nd, 2010Gasp! I love, love, love them, Monica! Congratulations! You are just too funny, but I would probably would want to do all of those things, too! P.S. An iPad mini–Ha! Ha! I have one of those, too.

April 2nd, 2010I’ve got an idea. You should buckle them into their car seat, then catch a flight to DC and introduce them to everyone you know out here! And everyone I know, too! :) heehee Congrats to you my precious friend. This has been a long time coming and I’m so TOTALLY proud of you. I can’t wait to see them in all the quilt shops and tell everyone I see, I KNOW THE ARTIST! :)

April 2nd, 2010That is so awesome! I’m so excited for you. I would have a hard time deciding what to make with it though.
The fabrics are great!
April 2nd, 2010Oh, when will these be available??? I’m so excited because I want to re-do my dining room Christmas stuff in red and aqua. These will be PERFECT!!!!!

Cherri

April 2nd, 2010Eek! I’m so excited for you! The fabrics look awesome! In fact, they’re so awesome, that if some stranger approached me on the street with a dog stroller full of them, instead of calling the cops I’d be all, “OMG, can I have a 1/2 yard of each, please?!”
April 2nd, 2010Gah!!!!!!!!!!!!
April 2nd, 2010Ohhh Monica…you really know how to put a smile on a quilter’s face! LOL loved the post!

April 2nd, 2010Oh Monica, I am so happy for you. What a wonderful moment, you know it’s there, you have the box and then that first peek. There is nothing quite like it, kinda like the peek of your first baby (well that is what it is)! I am so excited for you . . . Miss Monica is absolutely amazing . . . as always.
April 2nd, 2010Nancy

April 2nd, 2010Roses sending you love and joy too– what a fabulous treat that you so deserve Monica!
April 2nd, 2010YOU GO GIRL!!! Love your comment to your son about where all you were carting your fabric. My fam doesn’t get it either, I mean this creative stuff and how excited we get. I NEED those new fabrics BAD!!! Charm packs, jelly rolls, yardage, more yardage…yardage…
April 2nd, 2010O.M.G. I’m not sure what else to say! It’s all so wonderful - and those tiny little gnomies? O.M.G.!
April 2nd, 2010I now make cookies for my UPS man - when I know the bolts are coming. . . He now knows how happy I am to see him with the big heavy boxes! (. . . & secretly - I’m hoping it will entice him to come first thing in the morning from now on with the bolt deliveries - so that he can have his plate-o-cookies on the truck all day!. . . & I won’t have to camp out at the front door all day!) ;o)
April 2nd, 2010I’m so happy for you. . . !!!(& I love the idea of a bubble bath with them!)
xo, Bren
OMG! Sooooo stinkin awesome!!! Can’t wait till i can get me some of that gorgeous fabric to do my Christmas quilt in! Wooo Hooo and Congrats Monica!!!
April 2nd, 2010Oh Monica!!! I would do the same thing! I am so excited for you! The fabrics are just so very yummy. I told my local fabric store about it and told them they HAD to order the line because I HAD to have them. Every print and pattern in every colorway is just wonderful! Congratulations on your “New Baby”. You see, I imagine the feeling must be just like when we got our referral picture of Ahnalin from China. Yes, I showed the postman and the grocer and the doctor and the school principal and even people who were in cars next to me at stoplights. You have a right to be proud of your baby! Enjoy your new pretties!!
April 2nd, 2010Sheesh, this is EVEN better than the first born…no poopy diapers, but many sleepless nites, eh??
April 2nd, 2010So deserving are you, my friend…love your happiness!!
Now anxious to see what you can create from these lovlies!!
xo
O.M.G. Speechless. I can only imagine how wonderful it must of felt to see your dreams come to fruition. Rock on, M. Rock on.
April 2nd, 2010Gnomes - gah! Love it! This line is just wonderful, can’t wait to see it at quilt market. The red colorway has me itching to stitch redwork gnomies surrounded by your perfect fabric. Totally squee-worthy! Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
April 2nd, 2010Eeeeek! It comes with accessory fabrics!! Everything is so pretty and I can’t wait to get my grubby little fingers on it all. I’d love to see a video of you strolling it all through town though (that would be awesome)!
April 2nd, 2010I need these for my store. Hopping over to the Lecien site to see how I can make that happen…
April 2nd, 2010So glad I fought my way into my former office so I could see the big pics!!! It’s absolutely delightful! How does it taste? It SO looks like candy.
April 2nd, 2010Oh oh oh!!! I’m a day late! Now I am REALLY sad that we aren’t neighbors. It’s so beautiful and represents you perfectly! You should not only get a car seat for it, but a bouncy seat and a bassinet so it can sleep by your bed. Oh and a baby bjorn so you can hold it hands free throughout the day! I can’t wait until I can place an order so I can wait for the ups man too!! x
April 2nd, 2010This is so exciting! So happy for you–they look amazing! I would want to show everyone I knew, and everyone I didn’t, too! Many many congrats!
April 2nd, 2010That’s why the wind is blowing so hard here today–it’s the joy radiating from Casa de Zombie! I love that it’s blowing joy my way. Your fabrics are eye candy–stand alone beauties–perfect as they are. That said, I can’t wait to see what you do with them! Big congratulations.
April 2nd, 2010Wow!!! So beautiful. Congrats! I’ve already started lobbying my local shop to order. She doesn’t even have a Lecien account yet but is getting one JUST because I’ve raved about your prints! :)
April 2nd, 2010Love the fabrics - Congratulations! Hope you have a great time cutting into them!
April 2nd, 2010OH MY! So, so pretty and happy! I’m so happy for you, my friend!! Your excitement is palpable. :)
April 2nd, 2010HOORAY!!! What a wonderful day!
April 2nd, 2010EEEEEEk! Absolutely gorgeous! I don’t blame you one bit! I’d be dragging them all over town too!
April 2nd, 2010Woo hoo!!!! Look at that gorgeous fabric! I can’t even imagine how proud and excited you must be. Have FUN with it!!!!
April 2nd, 2010So great that it’s all finally arrived! Me, I’d have buried my head in the box for at least half an hour and breathed in contentment to start with.
April 2nd, 2010Those pet stroller things are plain wrong. I helped a woman get what I thought was her buggy and child off the train a few months ago, only to realise she simply had an overweight poodle in it.
Yay! It must be a great feeling! Well done keeping it a secret, the fabric looks really inviting to make something with!
April 2nd, 2010That feeling is a tough one to beat, huh? Nothing quite like it.
So, so, sooooooo very happy for you friend! I LOVE it!
Happy Monica day!
April 2nd, 2010OMGoodness….drool…drool..drool…
April 2nd, 2010I just couldn’t be any happier for you Monica. It is SO freakin’ awesome. I’m at a loss for words. Guess now we have to wait and wonder WHO will sell it to us and WHEN!? Oh well. I like having good things to wait for. :-)
April 2nd, 2010So very very pretty.
April 2nd, 2010Congratulations!!!
I Want, I want! When will these be in quilt shops? I don’t think I can wait for it. I absolutely love your fabrics.
April 2nd, 2010Yes, take it everywhere you go! Make bags, scarves, your pet carrier. I swear, people are gonna notice and love it too. Can’t wait to get my hands on some as soon as it hits the shelves. That is, if it doesn’t sell out right away. :)
April 2nd, 2010YYYYYYYYAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!! They look absolutely divine! I’m so happy for you!!!
April 2nd, 2010I think I _love_ those fabrics!!! I also think I really NEED them! Oh, I hope I can find a shop that stocks them when they come out (when will that be again? I know you said…better go try to find it again)! They’re great!!! Congrats!
April 2nd, 2010Your wait while long and tedious was definately worth it. They are beautiful! Will you showing them off at Redwork next week? Can;t wait to she your projects and I can understand not wanting to cut into your first fabrics…like the first dollar…just frame them!
April 2nd, 2010AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!! Can you hear me screaming from Sydney??? I think you should make a patchwork suit and wear it everywhere you go. Then everyone could see it :) YAY!!!!
April 2nd, 2010WOW!!!! You are one lucky gal. That is some beautiful fabric my friend. I can’t wait to get me some. It is wonderful and you did an awesome job.
April 2nd, 2010I’d take it everywhere with me too.
SOOOO happy for you…it’s amazing…it’s wonderful….can’t wait to see it in person! Have fun…and I’d take it everywhere too!
April 2nd, 2010I’m picturing you spinning in circles wearing a pleasant peasant outfit (made from your DAHHHHHling new fabric), on top of the alps covered in your DAHHHLING new fabrics singing “The hills are alive with Happy Zombie fabricccccccccc…….”
YAY YOU !!!! (I just did a back handspring in your honor ……and it was FABULOUS !!!)
April 2nd, 2010Congratulations. What an amazing accomplishment. The colors are wicked. I can’t wait to find them in stores and use them as this year’s Christmas fabric. If you find yourself hyperventilating again try the breathing to the bag approach.
April 2nd, 2010Oh I am so excited!! Can’t wait to get my hands on some of that!! I would be the same, I would take it everywhere!! Please drive it by Rainier and say hi
April 2nd, 2010congratulations!!!!
Nadine
YIPEE YIPEE YIPEE..can’t wait to see it live at Market
April 2nd, 2010I love the fabric, but I also love your excitement and your perfect description of how excited you are. Wonderful!
April 2nd, 2010Oh my, what a happy day. That’s what we say in my family. ‘OH HAPPY DAY’..you are having YOURS BIG TIME. I have to say that I have laughed out loud each time I’ve re-read your post. When I get to the putting the fabric in an infant seat…I can’t go further because I’m laughing so hard. I know that you must be getting lots of compliments from others and that is as it should be………but I want to tell you from my heart………I absolutely LOVE your colors and prints…I love it all. I am in a bad place now….How in the world can I get to have SOME…ALL OF IT. I even LOVE LOVE LOVE the yellow…….WHO LOVES ALL OF THE YELLOW? HA HA I cannot wait to see what you do with it……out of your own imagination and skills. SO, GO OUT THERE AND……..CREATE……ENJOY…..AND CELEBRATE..

April 2nd, 2010Beautiful! You are amazing. Christmas is going to be extra jolly with your fabrics around!
April 2nd, 2010It looks even better “in the flesh”! I know I would have a hard time cutting into it, especially those delicate half-yard pieces! But, enjoy!
April 2nd, 2010Absolutely lovely!
April 2nd, 2010I know how excited I get when fabric arrives at my door… I can’t imagine the feeling when that fabric is your own! Congrats!!!
April 2nd, 2010I MUST have this!!!!! Just looking at it gave me a thrill! I am so happy for you Monica!!!! This has to be a dream come true for you! Please make sure we all get to buy some, OK????? No running out! LOL
April 2nd, 2010Amazing! You had sun? We had rain, sleet & snow. I’m sooo excited for you! You should have called the local news and gotten a human interest story out of this. Can’t wait to see what you make.
April 2nd, 2010I can see that I’m late to the party but what a great party and I wouldn’t miss it for the world. Here’s great big huge HUG and many Congratulations! I am so very excited for you and can feel you’re happiness and excitement. I’m literally shaking with giddiness for you!!! I look forward to seeing the fun things you’ll make with your new fabric and I can’t wait to see it and buy it here locally.

April 2nd, 2010I NEED some of each of those as soon as you tell me where I can get it Monica! It is…………..well, it just IS you know.
April 2nd, 2010Hi Monica,
April 2nd, 2010Love your fabric range. We ar coming to US in June are there any good patchwork shops in San Francisco. Trouble is we don’t have transport but I will find a way. Love to buy some of your fabric.

Lissa
April 2nd, 2010*running ducking for cover**

April 3rd, 2010Can’t wait for the bolts either! I’ll have to order some of the Santa gnomes-they’re just adorable!!!
April 3rd, 2010lol - i call my iphone my ipad nano..x
April 3rd, 2010so glad to have discovered your blog!
LOOK AT ALL THE POLKA DOTS! I AM IN LOVE WITH POLKA DOTS!!! Can’t wait to see it in the stores!

April 3rd, 2010DEAR FABRIC DESIGNER EXTRAORDINAIRE !!!
May I ask again for you to go over WHEN (???) the fabric will become available to the public? Can we purchase it online? Can we purchase the Lecien polka dots online?….or HOW do we go about getting WHAT WE WANT…if our local FABRIC SHOP doesn’t carry it????
April 3rd, 2010I had a terrible time buying all of the fabric I needed last year that Barbara Jones designed…until I smartened up to finding QUILT SOUP. TA….DA !!!
I was going to buy her new line Simply Sweet…….but I’m going to save my money for your line……IF I CAN GET IT. Please advice us on how to purchase your line ! ! ! Thankyou OH WONDERFUL ONE! smile
“I love the smell of new fabric in the morning”…
A Truly Momentous Occasion.
Can’t wait to get my hands on some. I just want to SQUEEZE the Santa gnomes!
April 3rd, 2010OMG this fabric just keeps getting better & better. I think you should get one of those wallets with the never ending credit card holders. You know, the one when you pull it out it just keeps unfolding until it hits the ground(maybe even continues around the block). Can’t wait to see what you make all of this loveliness into. Way to go!!!!!
April 3rd, 2010YAY! They look awesome! I bet you rubbed your face all over them. :)
Where/when can we get some? I’m thinking of a Christmas tree skirt with the snowflakes and holiday gnomes. :)
April 3rd, 2010Oooooh Monica!!! This is so stinking COOL!!! They are gorgeous. What to go Sista!!
April 3rd, 2010What can Brown do for you?! I bet the UPS man hasn’t made anybody this happy for years. And I am soooooooo happy for you. The fabrics are bee-you-tea-full, and they deserve only the finest tables at every restaurant in town. And yes, it will be easier to cut into them after the bolts arrive. Congratulations.
April 3rd, 2010Woo hoo! awesome! Totally cool! If I had my own line of fabrics I’d take them everywhere with me too! Congratulations to you!
April 3rd, 2010They are gorgeous, Congratulations!
April 3rd, 2010Hold on. I have to wipe the drool off my chin, it’s getting the key board all wet. BEAUTIFUL! When will they be available? Before Christmas, I hope. Congratulations!! I know you’ve waited a long time and by the looks of these, it was definitely worth the wait.
April 3rd, 2010Congrats, Monica! Get sewing - I can’t wait to see what you come up with!
April 3rd, 2010man… where is the bubble bath photo?
April 3rd, 2010Absolutely glorious, girl! You DONE good….no, GREAT! Congrats!! Polly
April 3rd, 2010Monica it is just adorable! I thought of you as we drove through Astoria this last week (on Spring Break)! How very exciting…I am not sure I could cut into it either. And bolts are coming too? Oh my. Take lots of pictures please and post them! I can’t wait to buy some!
April 3rd, 2010GEFELICITEERD!!!!! I really had a laugh, reading your post about your son and what you will get yourself (((o:
April 3rd, 2010What a wonderful wonderful line, Monica! It makes you smile, happy, relaxed, wanting you to have it all etc etc. ENJOY this wonderful wonderful moment in your life and show anyone who wants to (or not).
Vrolijk Pasen!
Gorgeous gorgeous fabric. I will so be keeping my eyes open for that.
April 4th, 2010Here I was expecting Christmas fabric - and it’s all cute enough to use for everything! They are truly beautiful! Put me on the list waiting to see what you make and waiting to buy them.

April 4th, 2010Love all the fabrics but especially the babushka Santa’s. If you get tired of showing them the sites in your area send them over here to Sydney and I’ll take them on a sight seeing tour they will never forget!
April 4th, 2010You are too funny! Love the fabric! What talent!!! Your next talent should be sharing it all with me!

April 5th, 2010I love this fabric. The colors and designs are absolutely wonderful. I hope you did take it around to show it off!
April 5th, 2010I’m peeing MY pants. Seeing it in the photos is so wonderful. It is so much cuter than the drawings, and THAT was lovely. Think of how I will feel when I can get some of this and sew with it!!! I’m overwhelmed. I keep looking at it. The colors and prints are amazing. You’ve done such a good job. Just seeing the logo on the box makes me scream a little. I’m so incredibly happy for you. Lovely lovely LOVELY fabric. I also loved how you called your ipod the ipad mini! haha

Holy bejeezus! I would also make clothes for the whole family out of it and make them wear them every single day!! Try THAT one on your son! Son! Here’s your suit of clothes! Put it on! Model it!
I am nearly peeing my OWN pants here! OK, I do that sometimes even when I am not hyperventilating and excited over my friend’s new fabric, but still.
That is MONUMENTAL!!! But what will be even more exciting (if that is possible) will be to see it AT THE FABRIC STORE!!!!!!!!!! Get ready to sign autographs, Missy! I am sending you all my pieces for signatures as soon as I can get my hands on some!
April 6th, 2010P.S. I love that you have an iPad mini!! You need to patent that name or copyright it or whatever, because it is going to go VIRAL and you said it FIRST.
April 6th, 2010OK, one more thing and then I’ll shut up. Maybe. (Hey, I’ve been out of circulation, I have lots to say!)
How perfect is it that your fabric is going to be produced by one of my top two or three favorite fabric companies EVER? Lecien is just, so, TOP OF THE LINE!! Just where YOU belong!
April 6th, 2010Heck, I would take one of your photos and send it to the local paper! This is something to cheer about. It’s all luscious. I cannot wait for it to hit the shelves. I’ll be first in line. :)
April 6th, 2010Hope you keep them tucked under your pillow when you so to sleep at night,I know I would. Your fabric is wonderful Monica, I’m so happy for you!!!
April 6th, 2010so/Sew to sleep ~ go to sleep *** see I am excited for you!
April 6th, 2010Yum yum! Gotta put on a bib so my drool doesn’t get all over my shirt. :)

Whoa!
I am #161…
I don’t need to tell you that this adorable line of fabric is going to get snapped up but quick! Obviously, the word is out.
Remember me, when you are in Paris, Milan… when Martha is booking you, and Ellen wants your number.
I am loving your joy. It’s delightful, like your prints.
April 7th, 2010Love the colors and prints, they’re very fresh. Congratulations on being an official textile designer!
April 7th, 2010Oooohh….I want to bathe in them too! SO cute. And thanks for making me feel a little less deprived…I realize that I have a mini iPad too.

April 8th, 2010Ha! I don’t blame you - i love it too!!! You should be completely stoked. Ok here’s a tip, buy a stroller, tuck the fabric in and walk it everywhere w/ you. I’m kidding of course, but you know….
April 9th, 2010“….buy an infant car seat and buckle it in.” That is EXACTLY what you should do. Best line ever! Congratulations to you girlie, way to go!

April 11th, 2010Your collection is so adorable. I wish you much success..
April 12th, 2010OMG, OMG, OMG it’s GORGEOUSNESS in fabric form. Have you booted hubby into another room so you can take it to bed too? You so should, I’m sure he wouldn’t mind.
Do you know, there are two people in my area that walk their dogs in baby strollers? I kid you not, everyday, you see them, say good morning and they tell you they are walking the dogs. I ask myself what exercise the dogs are getting exactly…
April 13th, 2010Fabulous! Can’t wait to see what you stitch up.
April 13th, 2010Congratulations!!!! The fabrics are gorgeous!!!! Absolutely beautiful!!!
April 14th, 2010How and where do I place my pre-order of a bolt of each? I don’t think my husband will mind do you??? AND did I tell you that outside the secret back gate of Bangor is where I grew up??? Look up Lester Road in Silverdale and that was my street!!! My dad worked at Bangor and I loved going on Base!!
April 14th, 2010I know I’m late, but: SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
April 15th, 2010Monica, I’m so proud of you! That is so exciting and what a cool thing to celebrate. When you told your son you were getting one of “these”, I thought for sure I was going to find what I always told my son I was going to get- a 3 wheel bicycle lol. He kept telling me they were for “special” people, I kept telling him I AM special, and FINALLY, I found one at a yard sale lol. Now I plant flowers and put them on the back! Can’t wait to see how you decorate your “special” conveyance! Karen
