Many years ago, NYMVAE received a generous donation of fabrics. These fabrics have been used to create some of NYMVAE's most memorable costumes and sets.

Juli and I have sewn quite a few of those costumes. For the last benefit, we decided to try our hands at making a quilt using smaller pieces of the fabrics. Using the log cabin pattern, a small baby quilt was completed and now warms a little's bed of a frequent NYMVAE performer.

Mezzo-soprano and NYMVAE SingThing originator Juli Borst has a passion for recycling and wants to raise awareness about our plastic consumption.
