Jean and I caught a lecture about Dear Jane quilts by Brenda Papadakis. It was a pretty cool show. We were surprised how many traditional quilts were in the show and it was neat to see Fashion Ave.
I was totally amazed by the elevated parking garages! We also had lunch at Penn Station and saw the Empire State building not too far away!
