I love to visit NYC. There is so much to see and do. I also enjoyed seeing friends and meeting “online” friends face to face, while I was exhibiting at the SURTEX Show (Surface and Textile Design) held in NY in connection with the National Stationery Show.
As soon as I tossed my suitcase in my room, I headed to Chinatown and Little Italy. I love to go to Pearl Paint, a great art supply store on Canal Street, just off the subway in Chinatown. My next stop was Little Italy, a couple of blocks walk, to eat Italian. 
This is a view looking down Mulberry Street in Little Italy. The Empire State Building is in the background, which I didn’t notice when I took the picture. It looks close but is over 35 blocks away.
I love to visit quilt shops, and NY is no exception. I visited with Cathy Izzo at The City Quilter. 
The City Quilter is a fabulous quilt shop that is well established after being in business over 10 years. Its located at 133 West 25th Street in the Chelsea area and is very easy to locate (its not far from Macy’s.) 
Cathy keeps the store stocked and up to date with the latest fabrics. 
This charming shop is also filled with all the quilting supplies you might need. I was also impressed with the number of classes that they offer – 100 different classes. Just look down the street for the red awning that marks the spot for The City Quilter.
Thanks for visiting with me. I will add more of my NY adventures soon.
