Quilt Market goodies!
May 15th, 2013
So when I posted on my Instagram my cute new buttons for Market goodies, I had no idea I’d get such a wonderful response and feedback! I may just have to have some more made!
Packing up all the goodies is fun even if it’s really, really, REALLY last minute.
My newest business card. No fabric collection this Spring (or company to design for [sadface]), so I had to get a little creative on the back side of my card where I normally would show my collection.
So I may have lied a little.
The response to my buttons was so great, and I would like to share some with people aren’t going to Quilt Market. Please leave a comment and because I’m curious - please vote by telling me your one favorite button design by it’s name. I will draw six names (one for each button style) after Market is over and I’ve had a napped/recovered - which should be around noon PST on Tuesday, May 21st (Election Day!).
If you’re going to be at Market, hope you can come to the Martingale schoolhouse for Modern Quilts from the Blogging Universe at 3:10-3:40pm on Thursday May 16, 2013 in Room B110-111. I’ll be the one who’s semi-topless and wearing a big feather headdress. Sadly I won’t be able to make it to the schoolhouse. Life just got really lifey today and I wasn’t able to get there in time.
EDITED IN 21 May 2013:
Holy smokes - thank you all for your kind words and excitement! Had I known I would have gotten this sweet response I would have made buttons years ago! I wish I had buttons for everyone! The giveaway has ended and the Random.org drawn winners are:
Original: #75 by Karen in Breezy Point
Sunday Market: #42 by Lisa W
Portland: #101 by Michelle
Team USA: #122 by lindsey s
Grizzly Berry: #17 by Dell
And because Circus came up multiple times - I added a few more winners of those:
Circus: #7 by Adrianne
Circus: #162 by vickie warburton
Circus: #65 by lorena
Circus: #62 by Debra

Farting around with needle & thread and then blogging about it.
I love them all but if I had to choose it’d be Sunday market,love the orange
May 15th, 2013Love the great way to keep your name out there. These are great, so bright and eye catching! I think the Sunday Market is my favorite. Just looks bright and happy. However, being a native Oregonian, I am also drawn to the Portland button, too.
May 15th, 2013Sunday Market! Fo sho!!!
May 15th, 2013they ARE All very cute. I may have to choose the circus. the original reminds me of bubble gum.
May 15th, 2013Wow, they sparkle so nicely.
Which one? Ack….this that or that, take a time to see which one….. ;)
Grizzly Berry! Makes me giggle.
Such wonderful buttons you created.
Have a blast at quiltmarket.
May 15th, 2013Portland, for sure. Have a great time at Market.
May 15th, 2013Fantastic buttons! I am so jealous of everyone going to market - wish I could go too! I love the brightness and crazy that is the Circus button.
May 15th, 2013Circus!!!! Although I love the PDX version too. You are just too clevah. Have a blast this weekend!!!
May 15th, 2013Have a great time at Market! I’ll be following y’all on Instagram! I love Circus!
May 15th, 2013and now I have the Afro Circus song from Madagascar 3 stuck in my head. Lol
Oh circus but I will always love the original zombie the mostest!
May 15th, 2013Oh, it has to be CIRCUS!! So bright and cherry! Although I love all of them, Circus is the cutest!!
May 15th, 2013Circus!! It’s fun and bright. Just the way I like my quilts. Enjoy market…. wish I was there too!!
May 15th, 2013I like “original” the best. Have fun in Portland.
May 15th, 2013Wait a minute! You lied? Does that mean you don’t do your own quilting? You have a stunt double? (Which technically may not actuly be lying…)
Genius cards. Awesome buttons. I love them all but I think Grizzly Berry is my most favorite.
May 15th, 2013Circus! I love the bright warm tones! Thanks for the contest. It’s so sweet of you. Though you’re a badass kinda girl anyways.
May 15th, 2013omg these buttons are so adorable, totally in love with the circus one
May 15th, 2013I like the Grizzly Berry.
May 15th, 2013GENIUS. ??xoxo
May 16th, 2013I love Circus!!! Enjoy quilt market!
May 16th, 2013These are adorable! I love the bright pink and orange in the circus button. :)
May 16th, 2013Sadly Portland is a little too far for me (I’m in Australia) so I’d have to say the Portland one :o) thank you for the chance and have a fantastic time. hugs
May 16th, 2013Hi Monica! I like the Original one! Ciao Claudia
May 16th, 2013omy LOVE the original one….and of course all your stuff!
May 16th, 2013Sunday Market for me please :) love the buttons and cards.
May 16th, 2013I will always love the original, but I also love the colors of Sunday Market. They are all great, really. You can do no wrong… seeing how you’re a unicorn wrangler and all.
May 16th, 2013I totally believe that you are a unicorn wrangler. Circus is my fave.
May 16th, 2013Circus is my favourite!!
May 16th, 2013I like the circus button! Sounds like you are having tons of fun.
May 16th, 2013All of them are great. I like the colors of the Portland one best.
May 16th, 2013Would love to see you in your Vegas Showgirl getup!!! You are a hoot for sure!
The buttons are all beauties, but I like Portland the best - blues and greens are my favorites.
Hope you find a new fabric company - they will be so lucky to have you in their fold.
May 16th, 2013Too hard to choose - so I chose a random number and TEAM USA wins!!!
May 16th, 2013They are all great, why do I have to pick just one? Circus and Sunday Market are wonderful colorwise, and the original is still a fav, but all of them are fabulous!!
May 16th, 2013Love the Sunday Market. So bright and cheery!
May 16th, 2013Red & Aqua will always be my fav combo, no matter what the trend is, so I’m going with the original. I know, not original myself, but I know what I like. I love your cards, too, the back is hilarious, but really?? Vegas showgirl? When do you find the time???
May 16th, 2013They’re marvellous! Do I really have to pick just one to be my favourite? Okay then…*thinks really hard*…Portland! Phew, that was hard! Have a wonderful time at quilt market - I hope someone gets a photo of you in your showgirl ‘outfit’. (The inverted commas are because I’m not sure that sparkly knickers, matching bra and a huge head dress meet the minimum fabric requirements of an outfit!)
May 16th, 2013Love Circus - so cute! I hope you’ll design another collection soon!
May 16th, 2013Hope you have a wonderful time! So wish I was going. My first choice (this minute) is “Circus” with “Grizzly Berry” a close second. I like that “Circus” has the dark background.
May 16th, 2013The circus is my favorite…and I love your card too!!!!
May 16th, 2013I like the Portland one. You should take two of them, attach tassels, & turn them into pasties for your showgirl outfit. I know I would! :-)
May 16th, 2013they are all so great but I will pick Sunday Market!
May 16th, 2013They’re all fabulous, but my favorite is Sunday Market. Have fun at market.
May 16th, 2013I love them all but if I have to choose it would be Sunday Market!
May 16th, 2013I LOVE Team USA!
May 16th, 2013Your business cards are eye candy. I’d have to pin it up somewhere rather than stick it in my wallet! Choosing between the buttons is difficult. Hmmm…since the Circus one matches the Garden Steps quilt I just finished, I’m going with that.
May 16th, 2013Love them all but especially the Orange Sunday Market one! So cute!
May 16th, 2013I think I like Circus best, which is surprising because pink and I usually don’t get along very well :) I like the bolder background stripes in the circus button. So, are you going to share a youtube video of your Vegas Showgirl routine? ‘Unicorn Wrangler’ sounds interesting, too - I’m in need of a new career, maybe you could hook me up? hehe
May 16th, 2013Not going to market… Both the buttons and your business cards are the cutest Monica! My favorite…maybe Portland but they are all adorable. Have fun!
May 16th, 2013Love them! Circus is a great color combo. Best business cards ever too!
May 16th, 2013I love them all, but my favorite is the original. I also love your card. Have a great time at market:)
May 16th, 2013Sunday Market and Portland I think but then again Circus seems to scream Happy Zombie to me. I wish I were going-have fun!
May 16th, 2013Ahhh! I wish I were going to Market this year! I really like the circus button. It is darling.
May 16th, 2013Love the circus colours. I wish I could groom unicorns too!
May 16th, 2013Sunday Market is my favorite.
May 16th, 2013My favorite is, well, all of them. If I has to choose one, I think I would choose Team USA. Love those blues!
May 16th, 2013Monica! I love your new business cards, especially the ‘ unicorn wrangler’. And those buttons are so cute! I hope I finally get to meet you at market. Still driving there, don’t know if I’ll make it in time for schoolhouse, but do hope i see you wandering around :)
May 16th, 2013CIRCUS with Sunday Market creeping into second place! I’m very sad that you are not designing a new line this year - I’ll have to conserve my gnomes!
May 16th, 2013My favorite is Sunday Market…course I LOVE orange. Which Vegas show are you dancing in? :)
May 16th, 2013These are all fabulous, but I think Sunday Market is my favorite!
May 16th, 2013Team USA because my daughter is a Florida Gator and the colors are reminiscent!
May 16th, 2013I love the CIRCUS button! Whoo hoo for pink and orange!
May 16th, 2013Love the business cards, and the buttons are all so cute! If I had to pick a favorite though, I think I would have to go with circus. I am a sucker for pink and orange :)
Have a great time at market, can’t wait to hear about your adventures!
May 16th, 2013Circus catches my eye!
May 16th, 2013I’m liking the Portland button the best! Have fun at market - I’m very jealous!!
May 16th, 2013my fave is sunday market, with circus a close second.
SO BUMMED i’m not going to market again. sob.
May 16th, 2013Too FUN! Since I can’t vote for them all I’ll vote for Circus. I love that orange face! Thank you!!!
May 16th, 2013I love them all. Circus is cool. Love the colors in Portland. But if I pick one that less people are picking, do my odds go up? Then let’s go USA! USA! USA!
May 16th, 2013I am loving CIRCUS. All of them are really cool, and it was hard to pick just one, but CIRCUS is calling my name.
Have fun at market.
May 16th, 2013They’re all too cute! I like the original, closely followed by circus :) I wish you luck with your fabric design quest; I’d love to see more of your work ♥
May 16th, 2013They’re all great! But I’d reach for Circus first :)
May 16th, 2013I would have to say Sunday Morning is my favorite because of the colors. I am a freak for orange!
May 16th, 2013I like the Portland one. It matches my purse.
May 16th, 2013SO CUTE! I love them all!!!!!! If I have to pick just one, I think Grizzly Beary but it’s a tough choice. lol
May 16th, 2013OMG SQUEEEEE!! Could those be any cuter!!
I love them all, but my fave is Grizzly Berry. I love the color combo. Circus was a close second tho!
Posilutely Adorbz!
May 16th, 2013My favourite is “Portland”. They are SOOO cute!!
May 16th, 2013They are all fabulous, but if I had to pick one it would be the Original. No–Circus. No–Team USA. No–oh shoot–I’m going back to Original because it’s just to hard to decide.
May 16th, 2013I hope you have a great trip–I know Market will be crazy and a lot of fun!
Circus!! Also… UNICORN RANGLER! Hahahaha.
May 16th, 2013So hard to pick a favorite!! Maybe Team USA (but ask me again in 5 minutes & I’m sure I’d have a different answer)
May 16th, 2013Love your new card! And the pins. Any of them would be a perfect addition to my pin collection…but
May 16th, 2013I like Sunday Market the best.
So. If one reads between the lines and if one is going to market could one infer that one would be able to get a button? I couldn’t possibly pick a fav - they’re all gorgeous! I DO hope I see you - I have Questions!!!!
May 16th, 2013Sunday Market!
May 16th, 2013I bet these buttons are part of your Vegas Show Gal performance. You must be super tough to wear them though! Ha!! I am loving the original oh Zombie Unicorn Wrangler. If you pick me, I’ll wear it faithfully. On a special shirt or my bathrobe whichever looks best! Have fun in Portland….lucky duck!
May 16th, 2013tie between sunday market and portland! I love these Monica, crazy cool.
May 16th, 2013The buttons are just so darn cute, and I like Grizzly Berry. Thanks for the giveaway.
May 16th, 2013I like the Portland one. Thanks for the giveaway.
May 16th, 2013Those buttons are AWESOME! And being a unicorn wrangler/groomer must be a lot of fun.
May 16th, 2013Love the Circus button the best. :)
Portland’s my favorite.
May 16th, 2013Sunday Market! So funny Monica, I love your business cards- you crack me up!
May 16th, 2013They are ALL way too cute. I think circus is my favorite, but it’s a tough call.
May 16th, 2013My favorite is Sunday Market! The pins are so fun!
May 16th, 2013I like the Portland version best! All are very cute of course :)
May 16th, 2013Absolutley every one is adorable- but I’d go with Circus- and I don’t even like circuses-clowns creep me out- but the button is great!
Have a super time at Quilt Market!
May 16th, 2013Sunday Market is my favorite! It just looks so *happy* — in a zombie-esque way! ;-)
May 16th, 2013Love the buttons. My fav is the original but I too love them all!
May 16th, 2013Hands down the original - though I know that if my name is drawn, it is actually my 7-yr-old daughter who will claim the button. She loves sewing, she loves zombies (though she only knows the Plants vs. Zombies kind). The buttons are all adorable!
May 16th, 2013LOVE the Circus button. They are all great though. Have a great time at market :)
May 16th, 2013Circus! Because it looks like me in the mornings although I no longer wear a bow in my hair.
May 16th, 2013Your buttons are just gorgeous. I love the Original one. I also love your business cards. I didn’t know you were a Vegas Showgirl and a Unicorn Wrangler! Oh, so many talents!
May 16th, 2013Sunday Market and Grizzly Beery.. but they’re ALL adorbs!!
May 16th, 2013Sunday Market! Love it!
May 16th, 2013I love the Team USA one! Red white and blue all the way! Thank you for the chance to win!
May 16th, 2013They are all great, but as an Oregonian Portland is my Fav!
May 16th, 2013Circus, hands down! I love the fuchsia and orange color combo. Other people’s blogs make me smile but yours always makes me laugh!
May 16th, 2013I totally dig Sunday market!
May 16th, 2013I’m partial to the team USA.
Too cute!
May 16th, 2013They are all so cute! I can’t decide between Sunday morning and Portland. I would be super excited to get any of them!
May 16th, 2013I like all your buttons, but if I had to choose one it would be grizzly
May 16th, 2013I like original, anything with blue and pink, and maybe red! but it would be wonderful to have them all!!!
May 16th, 2013Original is my favorite. Love your site and your quilts!!
May 16th, 2013My favorite is definitely circus! (But i love all of them) :D
May 16th, 2013Gotta be Circus for this lover-of-all-things-pink.
May 16th, 2013Circus is the one for me (okay, seriously, I’d love any of them)!
May 16th, 2013Love the back of your card and the Sunday Market button.
May 16th, 2013I like the Circus button - can’t go wrong with pink and orange! Have fun at Market!
May 16th, 2013I love the original button or the Portland one.
May 16th, 2013I am deeply disappointed that you are not a sewer or quilter - imagine lying about that on your business card!!! :D
I would love to have one of your business cards to hang up, just because they are so funky and funny.
Have a great time in Portland!! Wish I could be there.
Grizzly Berry is my jam, yo. Have fun at the markets!
May 16th, 2013The original, because it reminds me of you most! :)
May 16th, 2013I really love Grizzly Barry. This one is too cute!
May 17th, 2013I love this idea. So cute! My favorite is Sunday Market. I love the orange and lime green combo!
May 17th, 2013Team USA!! Because the blues look really happy. These are too cute!
May 17th, 2013Tough one…. Team USA, I think! Your style is an inspiration. ;)
May 17th, 2013Circus!
May 17th, 2013i love everything red, white and blue so i’d have to vote for team USA!!
May 17th, 2013My favorite is Sunday Market.
May 17th, 2013I love the Team USA button. However, they are all darling!!
May 17th, 2013MY HERO!!! These buttons are freaking amazing (just like you)!!!! Do you not know the impact you have on people? We love you!! With that said…I love them all, but if I have to choose, I lean toward the Original button…just because. :) xoxoxo
May 17th, 2013I love the colors of Circus! Too fun!
May 17th, 2013How to choose between Sunday Market and Portland? Or the others? Arg … I’ll go Portland, I think :D
May 17th, 2013My favorite would be the Circus! Very colorful and I love orange!
May 17th, 2013Love them all. Grizzly Berry is so cute!
May 17th, 2013I like Portland. Those colors are very me. Thanks!
May 17th, 2013My vote is for TEAM USA…you know all Zombies seem to originate from here! LOL
May 17th, 2013You are awesome. Unicorn-wrangling would get hard, if the unicorn got jealous of your Vegas-showgirl feather-headress. There could be some tussling. Feathers could fly.
My favourite - the original. With The Circus coming in a close second. But I so love your Happy Zombie colours, so I’m going original. Cat x
May 17th, 2013I would pick the circus button as my favorite. So happy. And I like your business cards! Vegas Show girl huh. How awesome…I think I need to take a lesson on boldness from you!
May 17th, 2013Sunday Market is so Sunny! I love it! Cool!
May 17th, 2013I love Circus
May 17th, 2013Grizzly Berry is me. The buttons are great.
May 17th, 2013What a fun idea! I like the Sunday Market with the bright colors! Have fun at market!
May 17th, 2013I love the sunday market button the best :)
They are all cool though!
May 17th, 20131) Original cause I’m hardcore like that! ;)
May 18th, 20132) Can we buy these someday? I swear - they are sooooo COOL!
Oh, my gosh, I wish I was at market! Darling buttons, Monica. :) A fave? How does one choose? Um………………Sunday Market! (Followed closely by Original.) Love your new business card.
May 18th, 2013I am in love with the Sunday Market button. They’re all fantabulous but the Subday Market makes me all happy-giddy. Love the biz cards… I knew it was you I saw shakin’ your tassels on stage in Vegas! ❤
May 18th, 2013These are fab! Sunday Market contains all my favorite-ist colors. Would love to proudly display it on my project bag, which totes about all the fibery goodness.
May 18th, 2013I love the CIRCUS one!
May 18th, 2013Circus, definitely circus — so fun, so funky Happy Zombie! Can’t wait till someone swoops in and demands you design something fabulous for us to sew with. Bold, beautiful, bright … Signature HZ!
May 18th, 2013Circus! It’s hard to choose though, since they are all great.
May 18th, 2013WHAT?!!! We have to choose a favorite? But I like ALL of them! Sigh. Okay, I’ll pick Team USA since I live in the suburbs of the biggest circus in our country (Washington, DC, not your scrumptious button). It would be perfect to wear to all the upcoming patriotic pageantry. (and to the November Zombie Walk in Fredericksburg VA… as usual, I am ahead of myself…) Thanks for sharing!
May 18th, 2013Original is my favorite!
May 18th, 2013I absolutely LOVE THESE BUTTONS!!!! And of course, your fun sense of humor and this blog. The Original button is my fave.
May 18th, 2013OOooo - those are super cute! Ilove them all, but I’m partial to Circus! Enjoy the rest of your trip!
May 19th, 2013I like the original, with the Sunday Market a close second!!
May 19th, 2013Love them all, and your fabrics, but Sunday Market is the one I like best.

May 19th, 2013Love the originally…falling in love with red and aqua all over again!
May 19th, 2013I love the Portland button best. How can I not when I’m a Portland girl through and throutgh!

May 19th, 2013O RIG I NAL… love the original!
May 19th, 2013I’m confused. I didn’t see any lies on your biz card. :) Have fun chickee Baby. I miss you a ton.
May 20th, 2013okay, I read your business card and I’m not sure what was untrue, unless you only groom unicorns and don’t wrangle them! love the buttons. I would have been inclined to pick Team USA until my son sent me an email over the weekend that when he and his girlfriend were running that morning they went around a corner and found a bear there (jogging?), so I’d have to pick Grizzly Berry! They are all adorable!
May 20th, 2013Portland is for me! they are very cute. anxious to hear how wonderful market was.
May 20th, 2013These are so awesome, if I had to choose one I’d choose the Portland one, love them all though! And some day I hope to meet you in person, and can’t wait to hear about your adventures at quilt market!
May 20th, 2013Love the buttons. Love the card. Portland, Portland, Portland. Please!
May 20th, 2013Portland all the way, being a native and all! Thanks for your hilarious, clever, ir-reverent sense of humor. Hope you had a great weekend.
May 20th, 2013It’s gotta be Circus for me!
May 20th, 2013I love the original - love pink and red together anytime! Your fabrics are amazing too!
May 21st, 2013I love the Portland button! Great colors! :)

May 21st, 2013These buttons are so stinkin cute. You have to make more! They would definitely sell in your shop. I’d buy them and wear them to my LQS.

May 24th, 2013If you were selling these buttons, I’d buy them. Many of them. Your logo is adorable!
May 25th, 2013
