Thank you again so much for allowing us to use your
wonderful design in memory of this horrific tragedy. I am attached
photos showing the back
giving you credit for the designing of the wall hanging and a
picture of the front. Everyone loves it. We have a substation
in local Simon DeBartolo's Indian River Mall and are planning
on displaying it there. Being a public agency, we can't raffle
but are going to do a silent auction. I will let
you know how we do. Again, thanks from the bottom of my heart.

Hi Mary - here are two pictures of two blocks I made
for the WTC Memorial Quilt project. The first is Star of Hope
and is dedicated to my husband's business employees @ Marsh,
Inc. who lost over 300 employees in Tower 1 - they were located
on the floors that the first plane struck. The other star is
Right Hand of Friendship which I dedicated to another Marsh employee
that was a passenger on the airplane that struck Tower 2.
Even if we had not been personally affected by this terrible
tragedy, I would have made the blocks to send for all those that
lost loved ones, for those in the recovery project and for all
Americans who are struggling to rebuild their lives and carry
on. I truly feel those that were lost to us will guide us into
our future. We are stronger, more determined and closer than
ever before. God Bless all your efforts to continue that bond.

I made the "God Bless America" quilt for my
son-in-law that is in your national guard. It helped me to express
how deeply we Canadians felt your tragedy.
I wanted the flag to be as authentic as possible. I printed the
stars portion on fabric with my computer. (The fabric had been
treated prior to printing to ensure the ink would be permanent.)
The tower fabric was one with tiny squares on it. To achieve
the light/dark effect, I turned it over and used the back for
the lighter portion.
I finished the binding while watching the special telethon held
on Friday September 21st by the entertainment industry.

God Bless Quilt made by members of the New Mexico Quilters
Association. The quilt was made in a very short time and seeing
the quilt in person I was impressed with all the detail work
that went into it. Unfortunatly it really can't be seen in this
photo. |
The back of the quilt was quite stunning as well. I
saw the quilt displayed at the State Fair here and drew quite
a bit of attention. The quilt will end up being auctioned to
raise money for relief efforts.
The makers of the quilt were:
Linda Erickson, Geneie Brown, Julie Hogan, Susan Linville, and
Annette Murrin. |
