MISC Studio Sale Sold Out!
Tuesday, August 25, 2009 at 09:09AM 
THANKS SO MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR HYSTERICAL AND WONDERFUL EMAILS!
I expected it to take a week to sell off all of my misc, but I believe I've done it in about an hour and a half. If, after I pack the orders that have come in, I still have stuff leftover I promise to post again and invite more orders.

You would not believe the boxes that have accumulated in my studio and in my storage space. Its not just the sheer number of them that is the problem, its my brilliant method of labelling them. The word "MISC" appears on boxes of my printed fabric, trims, paper goods, bloomers, samples, little girls dresses, tee shirts, lengths of fabric large and small, fat quarters, buttons, zippers, yards of bias tape and elastic, and most notably, a box that, according to the sharpie-scrawl on one side, contains 200 crocheted lobsters.
I need to find those lobsters and all of their friends new homes. Want in? Here is what you have to do to claim your own treasure bag of MISC. Shoot me an email (before Thursday, September 3rd) and tell me about yourself (size? sewist? knitter? mum? sagitarrius? lover of crocheted crustaceans?) in 50 words or less. If there is something that I have designed in the past decade that you have always wanted, tell us about it. We can't make any promises, but we will try. Tell us how much you want to spend ($25, $50, or $100), and we will pack you a bag or box of treasures.
Again, we can't promise you that fat quarter of yellow gnomes, but we can try our best. We can promise that the "street value" of your loot will be more than what you paid for it. And that your odds of getting a lobster are really really really good. Quantities are limited, First come first served. All sales final. Complete Rules and Regs here.

I am so doing this. I tried, I really, really tried limiting to 50 words. I might have been 71.

oh no! It's over and I didnt' find out about shipping to Canada - wah!
Wow, Heather! That was so great of you to share your stash! It's times like these that I wish I didn't live on the west coast...that darn time difference! My fingers will be crossed hoping that you still have enough to post more later. I would absolutely LOVE any fabric from you. My favorite craft is quilting and my sewing room has shelves dedicated to just your gorgeous work...I love it all! So does my 17 month old daughter! Every time I get new fabric, she gets so excited, and has just as much fun looking at all the images as I do. So cute! Thanks so much for continuing to make beautiful designs and for generously sharing your work! Take care and have a wonderful week!! :-)
oh NOOOOOOOOOOOOO - i am so so SO sad that i missed out :(
I have always wanted to make a scrappy Heather Ross quilt with as many different "scraps" as possible. I sounds like I'm too late, but if not, I would be glad to spend $100! Maybe you could round up the bits and pieces from the rest of the orders. I'm usually on the internet too much, the one day I'm not and this happens and I miss it!
Oh did I pick a bad day to wake up early and not check your website . . . I did however pack up my three children, daughter in a Weekend Sewing Sundress in Far Far Away and went for a breakfast picnic using a quilt made for all Lightening Bug fabrics . . . hope you have leftover and open this up again. I of course would die for even a scrap of field trip or other munki munki, but would love ANYTHING. I would happily spend a $100 for anything, perhaps a box marked misc that you wouldn't even need to open up! Have fun cleaning, what a wonderful feeling!
Oh. my. heavens. I can't believe I missed out on this!!!! AGGHHH!!!!
darn east coast/ west coast time difference..
us california girls (and guys?) love lobster prints too!
next time?
How do we know if we got in before you were sold out?
Some lucky ladies out there! Bummed I missed the boat x
So sorry! I really thought it would last a lot longer!

Ah well, I just got off work. I have already had the pleasure of meeting you (at the xmas Bust Craftacular), and own assorted prints of yours, so that will just have to do. Although I would have loved a lobster...
Oh no! I was on such a high reading your last post and now I've plummeted. Oh well, if you happen to have any vw vans hanging around after all is said and done I would surely appreciate it. : )
Bummer but I guess we had no hope Down Under. maybe next time
Heather,
You must see how much people LOVE LOVE LOVE your artistry and your designs. Surely you must know this. That is why we cannot bear the idea of you not designing fabric. sob sob.
I just buy your fabric and fan it out on the table and leave it there so when I walk by I can admire it and touch it. Why oh why must those people stop the production? Its just so sad.
Heather,
I'm a mom of two boys and started sewing again thanks to your wonderful book. I've made 3 versions on the Huck finn pants and some of the dresses for myself. I'm a sag and fashion designer who started sewing at the age of 5 making Barbie clother. Tks for your wonderful book, and sharing your talent.
Hope there is a second offering of your wonderful fabrics!
Best,
Oh how sad am I that I missed out! I love everything you do Heather...I am buying your PJs at Marshalls so I can cut them up and use the fabric. Is that crazy or what? I will check back to see if you offer up more loot!
xo,
Tia
rats - i missed this...
uggh! How did I miss out on this! Im a quilter. I too reporpose your PJs . Love the
oh man, i am so sad i missed out on this but it seems since i am in oregon i wouldn't have made it in time anyway. how lucky for the people who got in. IT reminds me of dreams I have of coming across church rummage sles filled with vintage fabric and clothing just being so dissapointed in the morning when i realize it wasn't real. I will keep dreaming, am i a dork or what?
I just LOVE your work!
Anything left, smallest scraps, anything at all?
i'd spend a $1000 if i had it, (probably would cause divorce though!)
hahaha
love everything you do heather!!!!
weekend sewing is the best book, i just bought 4 copies to give away as gifts and get people sewing!
:)
happy day to all!
