I have said many times that I have two separate hobbies – quilting/sewing and collecting fabric. I am very fortunate to have City Quilter just a few blocks away. But imagine my surprise when I had five extra minutes yesterday and found this downstairs from my office!

So, I ran into Marimekko, a Finnish design shop, to look for something unique for my very Finnish father-in-law for Father’s Day. I knew they had fabric but for some reason didn’t know they had it in their Fifth Avenue NYC shop. OMG!!! It is amazing. IKEA, but better quality. Modern, but amplified. Bright, happy, look at me fabric. How have I worked in this building since October and not seen this yet? And more importantly, how am I going to avoid a daily trip downstairs?
