The Morgan Library and Museum

   Here are just a few ceilings from the many rooms at the Morgan Library.  The build is absolutely stunning before even looking at all the collections.

Tapestries from the Clositers

 I found the detail stitched into these tapestries so enchanting I included many pictures so you can see too.  No flash is allowed but I could take as many pictures as I wanted.  Enjoy.

Why police on horseback in NYC ?

So from the eighth floor I can hear a horse walking down the street, it is a police officer on horseback riding the wrong way down a one way street.

He walked the horse to the end of the street.

makes the horse do a side way walk like he is parallel parking him 

then stand there on the horse watching traffic

Why?  Imagine how much it cost to take care of these animals.  I wonder how many there are on the force?

David Letterman

I got to see the Letterman show yesterday, Emma Watson ( Harry Potter) was the guest.
This is my girlfriends sister Kaye, we have known each other since 1972, she is living in Brooklyn these days.
We had a great time at the taping of the show.....really good fun, if you have the chance go and it's free!

Scrappy quilt with NYC skyline border added.
Hmmmmmm what next?

Do you donate quilts?

I belong do a group that makes tiny gowns, fleece  and knit blankets, hats and toys for preemies,
I also donate quilts to Quilts of Valor and a few other charities.
But honestly seeing this video made me feel like everything I have ever donated
has real value.  You just never know when what you have made will touch a heart
and make a difference.
Please watch this video if you donate quilts, it will warm your heart :0)
donate if you can :0) and Happy Sewing,

This scrappy quilt went to a wounded female Marine in 2010.
