After September ll I felt compelled to commemorate the event in some way. At that time I was doing quilting and I turned to my scraps and the first piece I made was the White House. The little houses came easy, I even put in some little cars with American flags flying behind them, each little house flies Old Glory. I hurried and got it done in time for the first anniversary. May God bless our country. Diane

Gorgeous, Diane. Did you give up quilting??? Why? I love your wall hanging. How appropriate for 9/11... I have seen so many great 9/11 blogs today and seen several great videos... I've been teary most of the day --thinking about all of the people who lost loved ones on this day in 2001.
Thanks for sharing your wall hanging. It's awesome.
Hugs,
Betsy

What a special quilt. I remember the day. This is a wonderful way to honor the memory of those who died and to honor our country as well.
Diane, this is just beautiful!!!! I love it, made me cry just to see it......whenever I see something on the news about 9/11 I still get all teary and feel so sad.....all those people, so many families whose lives will never be the same......it always overwhelms me....
Your quilt is a real inspiration to me, what a truly wonderful keepsake, I wish I could make one and print everyone of those names on it and hang it in the White House!!!

It's wonderful, Diane. All of us, from our little home to the White House will remember this day - and your quilt says it beautifully.
Beautiful Diane, what a special quilt that I know will be a family heirloom for sure.
