Chelsea Market and Gallery

After High Line, I went on search for this Gallery that was in the paper this weekend.  I wasn't even looking for Chelsea Market.  That made it even better, such an unexpected surprise. WOW, it was so cool.  Again with the people -- sheesh.  But it was nice to walk though -- historic, raw brick, I couldn't even figure out the flooring. 
 
I did find the Gallery (btw, you have to buzz everywhere to get in).  It was a Gallery of quilts!  Here are a couple.  The fibers are hand-created and dyed (think Penny).  They were machine stitched but teeny-tiny and only about a thread's width in-between .. tons of stitches.  Not your grandmother's quilt (or mine!)

I should have taken a close-up.
