Daydream Crafts will indeed feel like a dream for lovers of quilting and sewing. This store is vintage Americana in contemporary textile art. Every item is hand-quilted to create a one-of-a-kind piece. Items available include small decorative quilts, large bed or lap quilts, pillows, reproduced vintage postcards, posters, totes, gift bags and even advertising on fabrics for your business. Many of the items incorporate recycled or reclaimed quilts that help show the age and give each item more personality. Items may not match perfectly, have different colored seams, faded colors, frayed edges, or even stains, but that’s exactly what makes each item unique. And if you become a true fan of the work (which I’m sure you will) then you can continue your support on their etsy.com store. Whether is July or February, nothing beats curling up on the sofa with a good book and your new handmade quilt.

5. Guy Turchiano Studios

Never Forget...........

Posted by Guy Turchiano Studios on Monday, 12 September 2016

Guy Turchiano is a very talented photographer who specializes in the New York/Long Island area. He also takes nature photographs such as waterfalls, countryside creeks and oceans. Guy was inspired to pursue his love of photography after buying a large screen HD television for his parents as a gift and seeing the beautiful pictures on screen and wanting to recreate it himself. It started as just a hobby but then blossomed into calendars for co-workers, large prints for family members and grew into his own showroom. If you visit his showroom at Guy Turchiano Studios, you can find his work for sale and buy a piece to display at home or at the office. This studio is the perfect stop for anybody interested in photography or, for that matter, anybody that enjoys breathtaking views.
