My friend and I had been planning to go for 8 years and we finally made it. We were totally entertained and in awe [...]

Air Conditioner Filters Can be DANGEROUS (Specifically, if you’re me)
Posted by: malke.y on: July 29, 2009
I wanted to clean the filter from my air conditioner and I took it out and dropped it into the sink. I thought it was a little ratty looking but what do I know? I ran cold water over it and started ringing it out by hand.

We’ve been very busy with alot of happy occasions in the past month. my daughter-in-law had a boy, her third. my daughter had her first baby, a boy.

My son in highland park made a bar mitzvah for his second son and that was a weekend affair. My daughter came in from Argentina and we are happily busy with her.

But the point of the quilt is, not about the loss but rather, how many of us survive today to prove that we are still here and the master race is no longer.

2009 Challenge Quilt #7 (All On Time)
Posted by: malke.y on: March 22, 2009
“I employed a variation of the log cabin block. My husband and I enjoy traveling to our favorite spots in the 5 boroughs by subway. “All On Time” was sewn in honor of an artist who was forced by the Great Depression to give up his scholorship to Pratt Institute to work as a NYC motorman. He later came out of retirement to work at a menial job to pay for the tuition of his daughter as a dance major in NYU so that she could fullfill her dream.”
2009 Challenge Quilt #3 (People on the Moon)
Posted by: malke.y on: March 15, 2009
“People in NY, with it’s great history and diverse cultures, are all on the moon. Both residents and tourist alike using different means of travel. Buses, trains, cars and trucks moving over the grand bridges. Through tunnels, up and down our streets, sometimes at great speed I might add. Let us not forget the boats that travel in and out of our vast waterways and harbors. We have it all for people on the moon.”
