It was a nice afternoon to walk around [before the rain showers began] so we visited Millennium Park to see Mark Di Suvero's large-scale sculptures and the Jelly Bean , aka Cloud Gate.
We also stopped by St. James Cathedral to view the Keiskamma Altarpiece. Not only were the stitched areas brilliant, detailed, stitched with love -- the beaded sections were exquisite! Some photos from the web site here:

What a beautiful way to spend a day!
I've lived or worked in Chicago for 15 years and I have *yet* to go to Shaw's Crab House. I guess the fact that my husband doesn't like seafood was one of the reasons that I've never been, but that shouldn't stop me now, right?
Sounds like a lovely afternoon!
WOW, that's an incredible altar piece. It's allowed to photograph it? I've noticed that the church that houses the food drive I volunteer for also has a lot of stitched items ... but I'm too cowardly to ask if I can photograph them....
