NYC @ Xmas

 Basted, ready to quilt.
OH sassafrass,  I forgot to order lime green thread.....

 At least I ordered batting! Woohooo! King size, giant roll, 
Quilters dream washable wool... 
It's so Squishy!!! ~~~~LOVE~~~

 I snuck off yesterday to do some errands and have lunch with my friend Britt.... 
Here's the Tree at Rockefeller Center!  Pretty huh?

 I spy some GUY in RED!

 Holiday Wishes up and down 5th Ave~

 Whats' better then a red Cartier box under the tree?
The WHOLE store wrapped up with a BOW!

Inside the new Lego Store,
They reproduced one of the Lee Lawrie murals from  Rockefeller center with LEGOS....
with some creative, and imaginative word play!


and Here.
very interesting.

Thanks for getting me out of the house yesterday, Britt.

Happy Sewing!

  4. I have not used the wool QD only the cotton - what do you feel the difference is other than warmth? I might have to give it a try. Love the photos of NYC, would love to visit there again some day but this time at Christmas Season to see the lovely decorations.

  5. Hi V- wool, huh?? Sounds great for a nice warm winter quilt... I haven't tried wool, will have to someday. I have to admit that I am loath to give up my nice fluffy comforter on my bed, I've been contemplating the option of piecing a comforter cover! Happy holidays......... :-)

  18. Having never been to NY it appears however, that no place does Christmas like NYC. And not a snowflake in sight.

  20. I love the lime green quilt, and the back! Wow, that is just so right for it! No thread, bummer, I have a large cone or two of Superior Rainbows Lime Squeeze always in stock! Such a good do'er. Great pics of NYC, not so sure there will be a cartier box under my tree, but a girl can dream :) Happy quilting!

  22. Sweet backing on the plus quilt! Have you always used wool batting? Where do you order from? NYC looks so fun at Christmas!!

  23. Just in case you don't get the piece quilted by party time, I'd say put it on the bed anyway. Let them think you quilted it with safety pins--sort of old school punk!
