Shanghai Zombie
August 21st, 2010
Holy schmokes… I’ve shanghaied one of the blog posts on the Where Women Create blog! Actually, I was asked if I would like to be featured on their Fabulous Friday feature. It didn’t even take me a nano second to say yes. Holy schmoly… what an honor for me!
My post is here, and naturally I ramble on as I always do. Added way too many photos. I even swiped (or rather, schwiped) one of their graphics and happyzombied it. I’m feeling rather shanghai-ish at the moment. Dare I even say schanghai-ish?
In celebration of my WWC shanghai my WWC post, I’m giving away a 25 fat quarter bundle of my Holiday Happy fabric. That’s 6.25 yards of fabric! Leave a comment on the WWC post, and WWC will draw/announce the winner after their Tuesday, August 24th at 12:00 Noon (MST) drawing closes.
I’m so touched by all the kind comments left for more me there. I’m unable to reply to them, so please know how deeply touched I am by the kindness everyone has bestowed upon me! Thank you!!!
PS to WCC - if you have a couple thousand extra visits on your blog… that’s just me coming back over and over and over again reading all the wonderful comments!

August 21st, 2010so, i was in my favorite local fabric store the other day, and i let out a little yelp when i saw your fabric there! (it was the cotton shop, in redondo beach, btw) i didn’t buy any, because i’m cutting myself off for the time being, so i think i need to take myself over to WWC and try to win some of it! i’m just so in love with those little gnomies.
August 21st, 2010I loved reading about you on WWC and you know how I feel about Holiday Happy :-). It’s my favourite.

August 21st, 2010I love WWC, and you are a perfect person to feature, your studio is adorable! I am so glad I got to meet you on Thursday at the Quilt Guild meeting, it was fun :) Have a great evening!
August 21st, 2010I loved your photo at the end. You looked so sweet! It was fun to learn a little bit more about you. And there were some photos that were new to me, so don’t even think about there being too many. Wonderful post!

August 21st, 2010Hi Monica!
August 22nd, 2010I wonder if my multiple personalities will qualify to enter more than once (+ all the extra-entries)…????
I would kill for the cute ribbon alone…well, not actually kill (blood can be very stubborn if you try to get it out of fabric…) ~ but you can tell I want to have the fqb badly ;o)
Again - congrats for being featured. I had so much Zombie fun to read your post…loved it! You’re awesome!
BTW, the WWC logo looks much cooler the Zombie way!
Hugs, Julia
P.S.: do the Heinzelmännchen do the clean up for you in your studio? If so, they’re cordially invited in my Bat Cave…eh, work room. Holy (Sch)Moley!
When I googled “quilt blog” some years ago your was numero uno and it has been a favorite ever since,not because yours was the first quilt blog I read but because of your witty style !

August 23rd, 2010Coolness!!!!! Well done you!
August 23rd, 2010You’re toooooo funny! Love your blog. I miss living in Oregon because when it rained, it was always an excuse to stay inside and sew.
August 23rd, 2010Congratulations! It couldn’t have happened to a nicer zombie!
August 23rd, 2010Congrats! Great Job and one little tiny little request?….post more!
August 23rd, 2010Love your humour, puts a smile on my face and sometimes even a giggle.
Monica, this is soooooooooooo cool. Now a whole lot more people can get to know you and Mimi and your wonderful photos, projects and fabric. And my Pennie Pocket is famous! My very own Pennie Pocket was pictured!!
BTW, I am not happy that you don’t blog very often anymore. I miss you and your friends.
August 23rd, 2010Congrats on your feature! It was great to read and see all of the photos–the more the better!
August 24th, 2010Loved it and love the fabric and would love to give it home overseas. Love the blogs no matter how often you can do them - even my 11 yr old son loves them - I’m not sure if its the name or if he is really interested but it is something we do together.
August 24th, 2010You SO make me laugh! Great giveaway and fantastic BLOG. I’m heading to your neck of the woods tomorrow…across the Astoria bridge and down the coast to Cannon Beach for A WHOLE WEEK!!! Ahhhhh tidepools and clam chowder…
August 24th, 2010Well, dang, I got up too late to comment for the contest. At least I have my Happy Holiday fabric. The Santas are going on a wallhanging Gail Pan design - Roly Poly Santas. Are you two related.
I also am ready to begin a few more Crayon Jacks for my new friends.
I’m still pissed about the contest LOL but at least I have some fabric.
~~~alicia~~~
August 24th, 2010OH! MY! GAAAAAAWD! I go on one little vacation and POOOF! You post an AWESOME one! AND I MISSED IT!!!!
But, I did go read it and if I COULD respond, I could comment “Oh, HappyZ! I’d follow you anywhere!!!!!”
Your WWC entry is awesome and I loved all the photos and I feel I know you a little better now!
(p.s. Visiting Long Beach with fam weekend of K’s big Bday!!! Come meet me for a Scrappacino!)
August 24th, 2010BTW…I totally know all those names on the Pennie Pockets! I feel so “in the know”. Like I’m knockin’ elbows with famous people, who just got MORE famous. So, coooool!
August 24th, 2010SHANGHAILISCIOUS GIVEAWAY!

August 26th, 2010what a fabulous hijacking post.. I’m too late to leave a comment on it as they are closed but really thats too much fabric for me to win, I could never keep that much to myself I’m not that good a seamstress and really that much fabric should be spread out and shared so as many people as possibly can have some to play with and share the happiness.
keep going and being happy and I swear I will work on a gnome/zombie doll to do an Amelie inspired swap. :o)

Hi Monica
I found your blog - along with many others today. I think I have enjoyed visiting yours the most. I found you thru the dragon bag pattern. Sorry, too tired to use correct terms.
Have really enjoyed my visit - will be back again to see what new adventures you have been on.

August 28th, 2010:o)
love the colors, so crisp & clean, they’d be a great anything!!! Thanks for the chance to win!
August 28th, 2010I saw you on there and was so thrilled for you! Congrats! What an honor. :)
August 28th, 2010Monica,
August 29th, 2010I’ve been (silently)admiring your blog for quite sometime. In fact, on our family vacation to Idaho last summer, I’ve requested my hubby to make our way back (to CA) through Astoria just to see where you live, but never had the guts to contact you because I was afraid you might think I’m weird. I went to Home Spun Quilts instead. Love your works and even more so, I adore your sense of humor. Thank you for being you.
yay for you! it was fun to read your post.
August 30th, 2010Just love everything about this site - mind if I sleep on the sofa?
August 30th, 2010I found you via Today’s Creative Blog! Your site looks awesome. Time to browse around!
August 31st, 2010Well, I was a little bummed I didn’t win. But, I’m still finding lots of happy in my little corner of the world, thanks to you, and I ordered my own little set of pink, green and red fat quarters! So I still win! Yay, me!
August 31st, 2010Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh… I’ve arrived late…. :-(((((
But I’m doing your “Nöel matrioska”… It’s wondeful!!!!
September 1st, 2010I was late!
September 3rd, 2010By “blogging” I discovered yours and I love your designs and especially the colors so bright!
I add to my blogs to follow
Sorry for my English I’m from Spain and I am using a translator lol ;)
Awesome! I love that you also shanghaied Moda Bake Shop. I cannot wait to start my Lawn Chair quilts! Congrats!
September 3rd, 2010I just got my stash of Happy Mochi and I can not wait to get started on my quilt! Your fabrics are just the happiest!!
July 17th, 2011Thank you for all your inspiration!
