weekend round up: tour NYC

 I shamelessly have NO GEESE to show you... perhaps tomorrow...But I would like 
to show you our APRIL Metro MOD guild quilt... (our meeting was Saturday, so much fun!) 
Each meeting we have a challenge block, 
and then we decide the layout as a group, someone generously volunteers to put it together, 
and walla! Our challenge was two STRIPE blocks one rectangle one square... and this is it
all together... Isn't it fun?
 Friday night it was so lovely out, me, hubby and Boo, walked down the street to eat and 
then strolled on the Highline park.... (old elevated train tracks turned into a park... it is so nice...
 There is a sitting area directly over the road way.. can you see the people in there?  Oh, and 
Don't worry, It was a red light, while I was taking that photo!
 When we came down from the highline, we saw this on street sign...
Sort of a PUBLIC ART piece...
 You could add your thoughts of HOPE... Boo shared hers...
 Some were very sweet...and touching...
 Our sites walking back to our home, while eating organic home made mint ice cream... yum!

Have a super week!
Got a favorite flavor of ice cream?

  1. Love the Highline! That's one of my favorites for out of town visitors. As for ice cream, well, I'm a chocolate girl, now doubt.

  5. I love to travel thru you & others I follow. Thanks for the great pics. Gives me hope to know the street art was still standing.

    Ice cream of any flavor is fine w/me. Next to lemon merique pie, it's the only other sweet I simply can not resist.

    Love the quilt top.

  7. I love your little tours of New York. The striped quilt is great, something a bit different. Your Guild has great ideas. Ice cream? blackcurrant or vanilla.

  9. Great photos and a great weekend! Cool that the park is right above the roadway. Our local dairy farm Chocolate Chocolate Chip ice cream is the best. Made fresh and local daily, can't beat it! But I must say that it is dangerously close to my house. I think that my car can just go there on auto pilot.

  10. Love the stripey-ness!!! Can you believe I don't care for ice cream, however recently I did try some locally made--the flavor was Lime and Cardamom with Rhubarb. Outstanding.

  17. The quilt is fabulous. Proof that we over think many things when making our own quilts. Well, I do, at least. OK love your photos, you are a smart girl to always have your camera. Ice cream...choc with peanut butter swirls. Local dairy, cows live on site! I will take you there when you travel out west some time!

  18. The guild quilt is FABULOUS! Crazy, wild, snazzy!
    The Park!! I wanna go there. *swoons*
    My fav ice cream is Mocha Almond Fudge by Dryers. *drool*

  19. WoW! Fabulous group quilt effort! Hope to get back to NYC someday and see all the new stuff since I moved away in '99.

    Fave flavor: for solo icecream, coffee every time. For icecream to go with, Roselani "Haupia" (coconut-milk pudding; rich and subtle, like a mild and extra-creamy vanilla), wonderful under any kind of fresh fruit topping, and unbeatable beside a slice of chocolate birthday cake.
