but to me it is huge. My dd lives in NYC and actually went shopping at a quilt shop (The City Quilter) and bought me fat quarters and new scissors. She didn't even know what a fat quarter was. They are all NYC fabrics and I plan to make a wallhanging for my quilt studio. She said she actually made two trips to the store. The scissors were $20 cheaper on amazon so she took them back and spent the money buying me more things that should arrive today. When she gets home, she is also going to send me some photos that she took of the city. Her photography is awesome and I plan on using them in the quilt.

It did mean so much to me because she went out of her way to get something especially for me. Aren't those fabrics so cute. Love them.

I know how much my mom would appreciate a gift such as this so I can only imagine how much you do :) from a daughter's perspective, it probably meant the world to her to make you smile that much :)

Such a thoughtful daughter. Isn't it wonderful to have fabrics from another area.

You can't beat a gift that thought, caring and love has been added to. The fabrics are absolutely beautiful! I can't wait to see the wall hanging that you create.

Great fabrics. What a great gift, especially as she didn't know what she was shopping for. :P :-P

How neat, I could make out cabs, bagels and a map of Manhattan. Surely it must be N.Y.

mcdaniel023 12-26-2010 05:44 PM

I tried out the scissors today. They are really nice.

She said it was NYC fabric. I thought the fabrics were really cute! (What I could see.)

What a caring daughter and a wonderful gift. You are blessed! I can't wait to see what you make with the fabric!

earthwalker 12-26-2010 10:01 PM

Just lovely...doubly wonderful that so much thought and attention went into the whole gift process.

Hi Deb and Merry Christmas to you. Hope it was great. Your daughter not only cared enough to select such nice gifts for you, but she demonstrated wise shopper skills in finding the scissors for a better price. Sounds like the apple didn't fall far from the tree! Congrats on raising a smart shopper! Your SS, Penny

Merry Christmas, to you too. She really is a lot like me. The first thing she says in the car at the airport is that she had a very stressful day and a lot of it was because of me. What I asked...."I was running late and getting stressed and I had to clean my bathroom and run the sweeper. I sure can't come home to a messy house. Thanks Mom." I cannot tell you how many times I had to listen to "Come on mom, no one will be here." Now she gets it.
