The New England Quilt Museum is hosting an exhibit of book illustrations by Salley Mavor; her third show at the museum. The book, My Bed: Enchanting Ways to Fall Asleep Around the World, features of children's sleeping arrangements from all over the world. Going to bed is something every human does. As always, the hand-stitched and embellished scenarios are delightful. Why hasn't this artist won a Caldecott award yet?!
