Celebrate New York in your quilting, thanks to The City Quilter. The first of their own "New York Collection" designed by The City Quilter is titled "Olde New York".
These stylized picture postcards from the 1930's feature the "sights" of New York as they looked back then: St. Patrick's Cathedral, Pennsylvania Station, the Empire State Building, the American Museum of Natural History, the Brooklyn Bridge, Chrysler Building, Flatiron Building, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Grand Central Terminal, and more. And "Olde New York" is avilable in three background colorways.
The second fabric is titled “NYC Subway”, which features an all-over design of New York City’s famous subway map, licensed from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. Striking in black, white and map-natural beige background colorways, this fabric is instantly recognizable--around the planet.
To celebrate, The City Quilter is giving away 24 Fat Quarters from the "New York Collection" to 24 lucky TQS winners. To enter, click on ILoveNewYork@thequiltshow.com and type in "City Quilter". Contest ends Monday, October 26, 2009 at midnight PST. This contest is open to everyone worldwide, so enter today!
All of the "New York Collection" fabrics are owned by and exclusively available from The City Quilter, online, by phone or in the store. Look for the next addition of this collection in late Spring 2010. Click here to order yours!

For the first time, quilts are being seen in Times Square!
The City Quilter arranged with Panasonic to provide free time on its 28 ft X 38 ft Astrovision screen, high above Times Square, to promote their "MADE IN NEW YORK: City Quilting" Exhibition, taking place just a few blocks away at the Williams Club. The 15 second spot runs every 7 1/2 minutes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, through the end of the exhibition on November 14.

Yesterday we enjoyed and celebrated a huge group of talented dancers in downtown Chicago along with the Black Eyed Peas. Check out what just one kid (a student at Yale) managed to pull off. Talent is in the air!

These wonderful quilts are a part of our heritage and an inspiration for our future. Please note the sign "Unknown Quilter" and make sure all of your quilts have labels. It may not seem important now, but it will be later.
Thank you to IQA for sharing this great collection. Come back Sunday for Part II.
For the music we are using Doyle Dokes's Nothing's Too Good For A Friend from the Sounds of Wood and Steel CD.

The New Quilts of Northern California exhibit is an annual favorite at PIQF. It displays the work of Northern California's most well-known and upcoming quilt makers. It contains recent works of these artists as presented by the Northern California Quilt Council curated by Sue Broenkow, Judy Mathieson, and Elizabeth Marrs. Here is a sampling of this amazing exhibit.

Join us for a stroll through the Fabric Forest. Made by a group from Germany, it is a fun experience to walk among the "trees."
