Let me add, there are no bargains at City Quilter. The fabric is of the highest quality, many over $10 a yard.
However, you will get what you pay for. Recently got some fabric from Joann's of very poor quality. Same high prices in many stores I have visited, and online. My favorite shop, to date, is in San Diego.

Definitely check out the garment district. Tons of fabric stores, notions, etc. I have never been to the City Quilter, but I did order online and was very pleased. It is pricey, but I was looking for NYC themed fabric.
Wish I was a quilter when I lived in NYC.

There is also Purl's in Soho (downtown) with very beautiful wool felt and the always-pricey Liberty of London.
Singing at Carnegie Hall is a wonderful experience. You will be near a wonderful bakery too! Let me know if I can help with any other details! Dotty

Thanks for the invite - it ended up being a crazy busy week. Sorry I didn't reach out and get to meet you in person! So I missed you in Seattle last August (or was it the year before ?), then blew it again in February in NY. Next time I will do better. To be fair, I was in California when you were in Seattle... Loved the garment district but ended up with limited time there.... Picked up some apparel fabric, saw three Broadway shows, mom's performance at Carnegie, Ellis Island, Statue of Liberty, Museums, Top of the Rock, night out of Cuban food and music, lots of walking, subways & cabs. All in 7 days... exhausting but wonderful. Oh, and it was bloody freezing!
