Debbie had a busy day at the offices of Martha Stewart in Chelsea, attending a cooking demonstration and a lunch hosted for some of the women at the shelter. She donated three quilts to the shelter and they decided to have a drawing to give them to three of the shelter residents. No pictures were taken of the drawing to respect the privacy of the residents, but the response was heartwarming. Debbie did get a combination of pictures with the camera and her phone of other activities and we will be posting those tomorrow.

She and Emily went to dinner at Momofuku Ssamand should have pictures to share of that experience.

Keepsake Qulting’s new catalogue is out and they are including Cosmic Jewels in their offerings. They have the pattern as well as a queen size kit. The quilt is a stunner done in batiks with a black background. The picture in the catalogue and on the website is the quilt Debbie made and showed at market. The people at Keepsake did a beautiful job of photographing it. From what we have seen, it is going over very well. Take a look at the Keepsake website.

I have arrived in NYC for the Dreamers Into Doers event

Daughter-in-law Emily joined me for the trip and we met other Dreamers for drinks in Restaurant Blue at the Indigo Hotel Chelsea

This is the restaurant at the hotel

Our room is beautiful

Emily and I then had dinner at Gramercy Tavern after going to the kitchen shops down on Bowery.

I found great scoops and cookie/biscuit cutters.

The picture is a little dark, but I have finally arrived at the studios and am ready to start the day’s activities which include a cooking demonstration and events for the Safe Horizon Shelter.

More updates at the end of Tuesday. It has been a great trip so far!!!
