Last week, our good friends were in town from Tennessee. It's always nice to have visitors in bc we get to do things that we often neglect living here. Or things that we have wanted to do, but haven't made the time for.
One of our friends is a fiber artist so I was able to easily persuade her to visit The City Quilter (http://www.cityquilter.com/). I had been wanting to go there for a while, but rarely make it into "the city" (Manhattan). I hadn't realized there was a gallery there and we were lucky to stumble upon a quilt exhibit by Cécile Trentini. Her work was quite varied but I fell in love with her use of unexpected materials, such as daily household items.
A lovely geometric quillt made with coffee filters!
This one is tea bags!
We bought some lovely fabric, too, of course!
Always room for more fat quarters in lovely prints! The maroon on top is actually a oversized yard that I plan to use as a quilt back one day.
I don't usually go in for novelty prints but these were too fun to pass up! The black is already covered with cat hair, of course!
I'm glad I was spurred into seeing this shop by my friends, and I won't wait until I have more visitors to go again!
