Dolls on the Subway

There is a DOLL CLUB in Manhattan!
Thanks to Tonya of painted threads, I learned that there is a doll club at a NYC quilt shop called The City Quilter.
The doll club is picking up again this Sunday after having been inactive for a while due to a store  expansion/renovation.  I've never been to this quilt shop or any craft shop since I moved to NY earlier last year.   I hope this will finally be the start a new burst of creativity for me in the Big Apple.  I'm really looking forward to this... it has definitely been long overdue.

Here's a thought:

I'm used to packing my dolls and "stuff" into the back of my car, and bringing it all along to meetings.  But I've never thought of bringing everything on the subway before (!)
 I'm looking forward to it... but I don't know about bringing dolls on the subway(???)
Should I bring a doll?  What do you think?
Up the stairs, down the stairs...
Shlepping and shlepping.....

This should prove to be a new experience indeed!

 Oh, I've still got a lot of "getting used to it" to do!  :-)

Hi, I'm a member of the Manhattan Doll Club and most members travel by train/bus. You'll see how we packed them for the transport. Just wrap them in bubblewrap, put them in shopping bags and off to the trains. City Quilter's is a beautiful store. Hope to see you on Jan 22.

Yay for finding a doll club! It will be lovely to see you making dolls again. I would think that you could just stuff everything into a big bag (or two!) and act as if everyone does it. Schlepping up and down stairs might be a problem. Better find a bag with shoulder straps!

Yes Take a Doll. They will be so impressed! Glad you found out about the club. It's so nice to share what you love with others who love it too!

Too bad you couldn't come this past Sunday. The City Quilter is worth a visit. This website will give you lots of info on places in the garment district.
