grancy2@juno.com This little quilt designed itself as I was preparing for the quilting class I teach in the Adult Enrichment Program at Millsaps College. It combines hand piecing (ugh), appliqué, and trapunto. My ten ladies are very receptive to it. Working on it helped me regain my focus. I was eleven years old when Pearl Harbor happened. This one is very different. God bless the victims and their families, and God Bless America.
Sept. 11, 2001
This is an actual quilt I started to make on 9-12-01 after the attack on the USA. It is dedicated to those who risked their lives to save others in New York City, at the Pentagon in Washington, DC and on United Flight 93 over Pennsylvannia. Please look under the block MALTESE CROSS for the significance of the quilting. Hopefully when finished, this quilt will be used to raise money for the NY Fire Department's Widow and Children's Fund.

I wanted to depict each of the affected areas; sort of like the news of Sept. 11, 2001, in fabric. Hopefully, the quilt would serve as a reminder of the tragic events which renewed our faith in ourselves and our belief in what we can acomplish as a nation. If I were to actually make the quilt, I would probably use Batiks, and I would piece the log cabins so that the black line dividing the areas would be continuous.
These are some of our freedoms.

My sense of patriotism has certainly been raised since 9-11. The corner blocks are Bleeding Heart since we, as a nation are doing just that. The blue quilting stencil is Liberty Star. I originally had them as pieced blocks but they didn't fit into the design that way. The border surrounding Lady Liberty represents our flag and Lady Liberty for all she represents that makes this country what it is.

The centre of this quilt has red and black to represent the fire, death and destruction on September 11th, 2001. Surrounding this is the "Around the World" and Dove blocks to represent the people of the world reaching out to help and to join in a united front to bring peace and justice to our world.
Out To Help
Charlotte Kleiner Winnipeg, MB Canada hkleiner@attcanada.ca
A variation of the first quilt, the paper doll wreath represents the people of the world who are reaching out to help those effected by the events of September 11, 2001 and to bring an end to terrorism around the world.

This is a design I hope to use with a set of star blocks a group of us are making to exchange. The Angles and stars may be replaced with a border stripe fabric that I have my eye on. It also has Angels in it.

I used Sunflowers to create a quilt of Hope...Hope that this world becomes a better place for my grandchildren -- All seven of them, ranging in age from 21 months old to 14 years old in October 2001.
Using the New York beauty block with the New York flag block, and a Red Cross block, all from Block Base 2.

WTC Memorial Quilt
This quilt has over 6600 pieces (EQ counted them for me), each patch is now memorializing someone who died or is missing in the 4-pronged attack on America on 9-11-01. Forget-me-nots form the inside border. I was working on the actual quilt from this design when the planes attacked. As I watch the news resulting from this disaster, all the hand piecing has new meaning.

This quilt was sent to Houston Int'l Quilt Festival 2001's special exhibit, "America: From The Heart". NYC and ancient architecture are depicted. Old Glory rising behind Lady Justice. The inspiration came from a fresco in the Old Supreme Court Building in Lausanne, Switzerland. I've tried to convery, even in these perilous times, hope springs eternal.

Our perception of our world was shattered for a moment, on 9-11-01, and it, along with the New York skyline, looked pretty dark. But we're recovering, and though we might still be a little shaken, we're not by any means broken. The fabric in the lower left quadrant of the quilt was chosen to represent the lives lost and the rubble at ground zero. This quilt will be a part of the America:Quilts From the Heart exhibit at the 2001 Int'l Quilt Festival, Houston.

The center has the blocks for New York, Washington and Pennsylvania set in Baby Blocks layout and the business represents the chaos of Sept. 11, 2001.
The corner blocks represent the Pentagon and the Trade Center, the buildings damaged. The flag and the Eternal Flame represent the courage, love and resolve of those who rescued and searched for those who survived and those who were lost.

I started this quilt by searching Blockbase on different words relating to the terrorist acts on America. Since, I believe in finding a peaceful solution, I liked the block named Dove in the Window. As the parent of a Persian Gulf War veteran, my heart goes out to all the families of those in the Armed Services.
