Mooooo, I mean Muuuu Giveaway~

Update: Michelle B wins!!
You guys are scaring me with all your hoarded goods.
I hope you don't have a fire! :)
It was so fun to read all the comments.
Thanks! See you next week!


This week's Taffy Talk Thursday Giveaway is


4 Fat Quarters from the super cute


Minny Muu line from Lecien --Japanese prints.





I know it's been around for awhile.
That's because I have a hoarding problem.




We have fat quarter sets, if you need additional yardage, just ask.


Leave a comment about something you hoard.
hoard (hôrd, hōrd)
noun- A hidden fund or supply stored for future use; a cache.

Random Drawing later tonight.


Good Luck!


Make sure we can find you.
I hate it when we have to draw again
because we have no way of contacting you. :(
This little Minny is in my etsy store.


Minny Muuuuuuu, I just like saying it.

  9. The quilt is precious. I really need to get one of your kits and try making one. I haven't seen this line before and I think it is adorable.

    Hoard...not me...I "collect"! I "collect" a lot of craft stuff. I'm always looking to add to my "collection".
    Thanks!

  14. Like so many of us, I hoard fabric. Especially the really pretty stuff. It just seems so hard to cut into it. But when you finally do, it's so satisfying to make something really great out of it.

    Count me in on your giveaway. They look like such fun fabrics!

  32. I hoard gift wrapping odds and ends. Bags, tissue, tags, boxes, ribbon, cards, etc. I hate buying these things, and when I recieve gifts that are wrapped cutely, I love to save it and pass it on. But sometimes they just sit in my box and never get used. Maybe I need to give more gifts?! Thanks for the giveaway.

  35. Never thought of it has hoarding, but I have built up quite a stash of fabrics and quilting books/magazines. My rational at the time of purchases was for my retirement years. Well...those years are here now, so guess I better start creating more :)

    ReplyDelete
  36. I hoard fabrics I can't re-buy! I'm getting much better about not hording other fabrics.

  37. When I hear the word hoard, I refer to my stashes and stashes of fabrics in my sewing closet. Some are just to cute to cut. Just fun to look at. oohsaahsw@aol.com

    ReplyDelete
  38. Gosh, great timing...I hoard fabric and crafty stuff. I have a tub of batiks I'm hoarding and decided last week to give half of them to a friend who is actually working on a batik quilt. Yay for her...and I am in mourning(sp).

    I have no Japanese fabrics so that would not be adding to my hoarding.
    Thanks for the chance.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I hope you didn't want me to answer with just one thing. Let's see, fabric, fabric, fabric, notions, buttons, patterns, sewing books,ribbon and trims and more fabric. I'm so bad that I'll sometimes buy a piece of fabric and love it so much that I'll have to buy another peice just like it so I can use one and keep one for later. I do the same thing, but on a smaller level, with note cards and stationary. True story. Ask my poor husband. Yes, it's a sickness. Just add it to the list.

  48. I hoard everything even vaguely craft-related - there are bits of ribbon, stretchy cord that I pulled out of defunct bags, worn-out clothing that might have a few inches that could be salvaged, beads upon beads, fabric of course, and loads of yarn (and I don't knit or crochet - yet!).

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  55. Okay, I know everyone says they hoard fabric, but I have fabric from my sister's mother-in-law's mother. And my sister is 55. So that's probably fabric that's been hoarded for hmmm--75 years?? Or more? What cute Japanese fabric! I love it!

    ReplyDelete
  56. I hoard socks with no mates. Those mates have to be around here somewhere, right?

    Also fabric of course, and clothes that don't fit. I could probably make something out of them, right?

  63. CUTE Fabric. I like the quilt done up with it too cuz I never know what to do with those miniatures.
    Silly question - of course it is FABRIC! Years and years worth of fabric. More recently I have added scrapbooking supplies but my first love has always been fabric.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Yummy fabrics!!!
    Until a couple of months ago, I hoarded stuff I found in books from its previous readers, because I work in a public library, and people leave the weirdest things in books. I've found pressed flowers, bookmarks, all sorts of tickets (especially in travel guides). The most disgusting thing?? A cigarrette butt!!!! (I did not keep that one, though...).

    Thanks for the giveaway! Of course, all 20 fingers crossed :-)

  65. Oh I'm like so many of the commenters and seem to have hoards of hoards. Last weekend I was so caught up in "re-organizing" my buttons, which, of course, meant purchasing new containers for them and sorting them by colour, etc., that I didn't even think about the sheer volume of them. Then my sister came in and saw them taking up my entire coffee table - her jaw really did drop.

    ReplyDelete
  69. I hoard fabric remnants- Why? I have no idea, but I can often find uses for them in little projects, and I can get them soooo cheap! I have WAY TOO MANY!

    ReplyDelete
  70. Oh my, so cute! I am a huge fabric hoarder (and look at me, signing up to hope to win more that I can hoard!). I definitely hoard out of print fabrics, but also old vintage cotton rick rack... I should learn to start using this stuff - otherwise I'll need a bigger craft room!
    Thanks for the giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  71. I've not had the opportunity to see any of the Japanese fabrics in person, but they certainly look cute online!
    What do I hoard? Probably magazines. OK, not probably, I do hoard magazines. I'm trying to do better and just clip out the articles I want to save. I'm not sure this is going to work for me, because the last magazine I went through, when I was finished, all that was left in the to-be-thrown-away stack was the front and back covers and a few pages of ads. So basically, I still had most of the magazine with all the pages torn apart.

    ReplyDelete
  72. I'll be honest...it's library books. I will check out stuff on my card, my child's, and my husbands. I wish I had more money for fabric, then perhaps I would hoard fabric!!

    ReplyDelete
  73. I only hoard fabric, fabric, fabric, and more fabric.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Hoarding, pfftt, what's that? Seriously though, I do have a habit of hoarding fabric, although it is not that bad since my mom still buys my fabric (I'm 16) and doesn't like to make impulse buys. I'm the teen leader for a 4-H sewing group, and we recently did a day on pincushions. It was kind of last minute, and the adult leader was sick, so it was up to me. I brought my stash for them to pick from, and that was PAINFUL! There were about 15 girls picking through my beautiful stash. That was hard! It was good for me though.

    ReplyDelete
  75. I hoard quilt kits; namely, baby quilt kits. The fabrics are just SEW soft & SEW cute that I just "have-to-have-them". When my new kits arrive, I immediately cut all the fabrics and store them with the pattern...that way they are ready and all I have to do is sit down and quilt away. The hard part is picking out which quilt I want to make...I have over 200 kits to choose from! Luckily, Spring is just right around the corner and with all the new babies blooming everywhere, I'm sure my kit stash will need refilling soon. Hmmm...I'd better get a head start now...yep, time to go quilt kit shopping - again! (No, I am NOT ready for any 12-step help program - YET!). Too funny :-)

    ReplyDelete
  76. I hoard any crafting supplies. Fabric, yarn, glue, popsicle sticks, paper, beads - and patterns for everything.

    ReplyDelete
  77. I'm a long-time book hoarder (although is it hoarding if you use them?), a scrapbook supply hoarder (more hoarding than using) and recently started on fabric. I have lots of great projects in mind but no time. Cute fabrics! Thanks for the contest!

    ReplyDelete
  78. I seem to hoard books, but am working on being more discerning. Now if I could only get my husband to stop bringing them home.

  79. Sometimes I hoard things I make, like quilts, wristlets, tablerunners because I don't want to give them a new home where they may or may not be taken care of.

  98. i totally hoard magazines. It started with Rolling Stone. Currently it's Real Simple. I'm convinced I need these back issues. I eventually get sick of moving heavy boxes from new home to new home and ditch some of them (that's how Rolling Stone disappeared) but those Real Simples. I could make a castle from them or something.
