Hey, Brigitte! I love this, too. Since I’m working on a sewing project for my daughter for the next couple of days, it seemed like a good way to start my blogging week! 🙂 xoxoM
Yay! I hope you’ll share this project, M. Have a great day.
Thanks, Brigitte! Right now it feels as unwieldy as that humongous needle… 🙂
I used to walk past that threaded needle all the time, it always made me smile. There’s a giant clothespin in Philadelphia, I always thought they should get together.
I don’t remember the clothespin in Philadelphia, and it’s been a long time since I was there. It seems to me there was also a bronze tailor at his sewing machine, right around where the giant needle is, but I haven’t seen him in a while. Maybe I got the location wrong…
Oh! Yes! There is a tailor statue right near there, I can never remember the exact street, it’s on 7th and 39th, maybe? I passed it not long ago while I was walking to Penn Station.
The clothespin in Philly is on either Market Street or Kennedy Boulevard, and 15th Street. I’m not sure if there’s any significance to it the way there is with the needle and button.
Yes, right around there. I was in that neighborhood over the weekend, obviously, and I didn’t see the tailor…but then again, my daughter was claiming my attention 🙂
I’ll ask my husband if there’s any significance to the clothespin. That man knows everything! xoM
My sweet, know-it-all husband says that Market Street or Kennedy Blvd & 15th Street might be the old garment district in Philly… So maybe there’s more significance than we thought! 🙂
Thanks, Mr. Margarita! Knowledge is always a good thing. 🙂
That would be a great yarn-bombing project . . . to make a huge thread and thread that needle!!!

What the heck is “yarn-bombing”? Educate me, please!
Where is that? Is it always there?
It’s about 38th & Seventh. Yup, it’s always there! 🙂
I think I could manage to get a thread through that needle and button…. 🙂
That’s what I appealed to me: no need for glasses! 🙂
We need a sewing class first 🙂
Chi, our kitty, might be able to help…she does wonders with thread! 🙂
If we need something sewn she is first on our list of beings to contact 🙂
😀 I love whimsical 😉
Then you’ve come to the right blog! 🙂
I want to see what that button goes on. 8)
LOL! 🙂
LOL! 🙂 On the plus side, you wouldn’t have to worry about ANY focals! 🙂
Very cool. There’s a giant needle and thread in Milan too. x
Of course! How appropriate! 🙂
