NYC EVENTS!

 OK. I'm out last night with some pals, and we see this person standing outside of the Thomas PINK store... "Is that a statue?" someone asked?  Nope... Just a guy... dressed up!  Trying to be serious of course, representing the store... I couldn't resists, saying..."DON'T SMILE!" when I took his picture...  He had a very hard time not smiling!  hehe... to fun.  

Later we ended up at a restaurant that had SMORES for desert! YES! We were ROASTING MARSHMALLOWS at our Table over charcoal... Who knew! 

NYC is always filled with fun and exciting experiences!

Proof of that is THIS!

This cocktail party fundraiser will feature and celebrate the full spectrum of quilting and quilters today. From a hands-on quilt performance to old time music we’ll experience why quilts are still making a not-so-soft impact on culture and history like no other material culture. Rub elbows with our event speakers, Quilt Alliance members and partners who are leading the charge in creating and documenting the next wave of quilt history. Cocktails, demonstrations and music in the cozy yet sophisticated studio and home of Victoria Findlay Wolfe (above), co-founder of the New York City Metro Area Modern Quilt Guild, owner of Bumble Beans, Inc. and founder of the Bumble Beans Basics Quilt Drive.
