This week I’ve been in New York City with Sophie during her Spring Break. We visited some of our suppliers, bought some embroidered trims for eQuilter, enjoyed the Parks and Gardens exhibit at the Met Art Museum, visited the Macys Flower Show, and went on the fabulous backstage tour of the Metropolitan Opera. (including the costume shop!)
The highlight of the week was seeing My Fair Lady at Lincoln Center. I was in the pit orchestra when my high school put on our own production of this musical, so I know every word…every note. Sophie recently read Pygmalion in her Advanced Lang Arts class, but she had never seen the movie or musical play, so it was a joy to share with her. The two ladies next to us were very emotional …they were sniffing and wiping their eyes every other song. In fact we heard people quietly weeping throughout the play, overcome with emotion. This version had Henry Higgins and Eliza as the same age and more as equals….a post #metoo version according to the director interview we read. The Ascot scene is my favorite, because of the fab costumes and hats!
International quilt celebrity and artist Lisa Walton will be here in 2 weeks. We still have space in the class so come join us!
The Registration Page for the Love Your Mother Contest and Exhibit is LIVE, but you have until the May 15 deadline to make a quilt and try for the top prize of a newly introduced model BERNINA 570 QE machine. The juried exhibit will premier in Houston!
sharing your Passion for Fabric…
Luana and Paul
