This one is a bright depiction of many different places of interest in NYC.
I am not sure where this NY fabric will end up. (A few bits went into my grandsons' I spy quilts found here.) But I am drawn to all things New York as I have many fond memories of trips to New York with my daughters (one lives there now) and with my whole family.
I love this Flea Market Fancy and wish I had bought a couple other pieces in this line.
Gotta think of a name for that quilt...never really named my quilts but this one needs a name. Any ideas? This backing fabric is not a Japanese taupe but is perfect anyway. (Oh, I had a Japanese taupe type backing fabric I bought in Washington but I miscut. $!$! It happens.)
My daughter took me to the Garment District and took me to a couple of places I had missed on previous trips. Pacific Trimming is amazing. I never saw so many trims, cool buttons, and high quality zippers. The prices were very reasonable. She also took me to Mood Fabric which is a must see if you are ever in New York. We hit some other places but those two jump out as noteworthy.
What a blessing sewing is!
:o)

Linda, I thought maybe " Serendipity"one meaning is a pleasant surprise, and is that what happened when you found the Taupe fabrics? Or " Serenity" they are calm, subtle tones, just beautiful. Cheers from Jean
What unusual fabrics. Especially the NYC fabrics! Love them.
If I ever go to Mood I'd want to see Tim Gunn! What great NY memory fabric and that taupe is gorgeous.
Love these!! I love the top two the most-they are like souvenirs but useful! lol
