I’m headed to New York!

March 3, 2011

DSC_0023
I am really excited for my trip to New York City this weekend!  Saturday will be a super busy, fun day of book launch events and if you can make it, I would love to meet you.

Purl-soho
 
First, from 12  – 1 pm I will be at Purl Soho at at 459 Broome Street between Greene and Mercer.  I am bringing a bunch of birds to show and I will be hanging out, signing books and talking about sewing and blogging and all that good stuff. Plus, I'm bringing Josephine on this trip so you'll get to meet her, too.

And next, at 2 pm I will be at the New  York City Public Library Stephen A. Schwarzman Building teaching a bird-making workshop at Handmade Crafternoon.  (Watch this video to learn what Handmade Crafternoon is all about.)  Robert Kaufman is donating the fabric, plus I'm bringing some awesome vintage fabric scraps from my collection. Come sew a bird with me! We are going to have so much fun!

    I LOVE NYC and so do you. Wish I were going and could watch you in action. Love Purl and the NYCLibrary. Also I would stop off at The City Quilter for Sashiko kit of coasters, just the right size for Hannah. Go Abigail Go!
