Your story about your grandmother reminds me of another New York trip we made when our kids were younger. We took them to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. My maternal grandfather was first generation German and all of my mother's side of the family had come through Ellis Island. It was a very moving experience.<br />All the best,<br />DanaQuilted Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17208293296211517857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33232195.post-36694657263365594662009-08-20T13:23:41.229-05:002009-08-20T13:23:41.229-05:00what a fun trip!

My grandmother was one of the thousands of women who eked out a living working in a sweatshop on the Lower East Side. I didn't know about that Paula Nadelstern guide to the Fashion Center...it's perfect to answer questions about where to go to find what of a quilty/art quilty nature. Now that i'm a quilter and in love with embellishing, i could do a lot of damage to my budget there...if you're driving next time, please pick me up on your way *g*quiltcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07957819126177446578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33232195.post-76101203151344696642009-08-19T17:58:39.020-05:002009-08-19T17:58:39.020-05:00Thanks for the links and I will most definitely co...Thanks for the links and I will most definitely come to your shop on my next trip.<br />All the best,<br />DanaQuilted Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17208293296211517857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33232195.post-33683660080903370922009-08-19T17:36:14.044-05:002009-08-19T17:36:14.044-05:00Welcome to our neighborhood!

Norma Schlager blogged about her visit here:<br />http://notesfromnorma.blogspot.com/2009/08/art-day.html<br />The other is an exhibit of contemporary African-American quilts curated by Dr. Carolyn Mazloomi at the American Folk Art Museum's Lincoln Square branch. The August/September issue of quilting Arts Magazine has articles about both exhibits.<br />Enjoy your trip!<br />Kind regards,<br />DanaQuilted Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17208293296211517857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33232195.post-74887917040772192562009-08-19T13:28:24.567-05:002009-08-19T13:28:24.567-05:00Thanks for the mini-travelogue.

It won the Pulitzer this year. Tough story, but incredible performances and it does end up being life-affirming at the end. We also saw Mary Stuart with Harriet Walters and Janet McTeer that was electirfying.<br /><br />Kind regards, <br />DanaQuilted Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17208293296211517857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33232195.post-11540295276504738812009-08-19T12:43:03.827-05:002009-08-19T12:43:03.827-05:00You certainly made the most of your NYC visit.
