New Kid On The Block

My husband and I just returned from a weekend trip to NYC for our 47th wedding anniversary. As I wrote previously, City Quilter is gone as a brick and mortar but there is a fairly new store on the upper East Side called Pins & Needles. It is not a quilt store per se, but they have some nice cottons and some of the notions that quilters always need. I got some bright cottons to make two baby quilts for my dentist's dental assistants, both of whom had baby boys about five months ago. The newest issue of AQ magazine has a cute fish quilt by Judi Madsen that I plan to make (or at least that's the starting point) for both babies.
