Good luck with your job search.
I was at The City Quilter before going to Purl. I was interviewing on W 24th st. They were not opened yet but I saw a great hand died fabric on the window. By the time I came out my daughter was waiting for me downtown and I didn't want to make her wait any longer. She wanted to go to Purl because they also have a yarn shop and she knits. She "discovered" the store and wanted to take me there for my birthday a two weeks ago. We didn't get anything, but I now know where not to shop when I go back to NYC.
