I went to Paris to visit a quilt exposition

Last week I went to Paris to visit an exposition of 25 antique quilts in the Mona Bismarck Center for Art & Culture.

Weather was beautiful, a really blue sky an good temperature to walk! Because in Parid you WALK......
In the morning I went to the North-African market in rue Dejean (18th arr), I was a bit disappointed , expected more stalls. In a shop you could buy this dry herb grass to make tea, I forgot the name...

There were a lot of shops with very colorful african fabric for making clothes, a bit too stiff to quilt I think.

Then I walked to the mercerie in Place St Pierre  to buy some thread to quilt my Union Station quilt. On my way I saw the sacre Coeur.

For an excellent lunch I went to my favorite veggie restaurant...in the rue Bichat 

Then it was time to go to the exposition in  The Mona Bismarck center .

This was the spectacular view standing in front of the building. 

After the exposition I went to the same terrace as last time to drink a glass of wine....There were no blankets anymore but the heaters were still on.  There I met a very nice couple from the US.  We talked about life... and drank our wine together. 

Next time pictures of the antique quilts!
