My Sister and I hung our Mom's 9/11 Quilt this past week

My Sister, Patty, and I hung our Mom's 9/11 Quilt at the Livonia, Michigan Public Library/Civic Center

My cousin, Carol, approached the administrator at the Livonia Public Library/Civic Center about displaying my Mom's 9/11 Quilt in honor of those whose lives were touched by the tragedy 10 years ago.  They welcomed the idea, so we flew back to Michigan last week to hang the Quilt.  It will be displayed for the entire month of September.  It is such an honor to be able to share Mom's quilt with the people of Michigan. It's hard to believe it has been 10 years.   God Bless our Beautiful America. xoxo

    Janice, that is truly a beautiful quilt!! I wish I could see it in person--perhaps I can. My husband and I grew up in Livonia (although it wasn't as built up and it is now) and we'll be heading for Brighton, MI (where my parents now live) this Christmas. HMMM, may have to pop over to Livonia if it's still there.

    Heaps of Hugs,
    Cheryl

    Thank you so much Esther and Cheryl! Esther, we felt Mom's presence while we were there! Cheryl, I grew up in Livonia, too - our family has lived there for over 50 years. The Quilt will be hanging through the month of September. The pictures do not do it justice at all. In person, it is truly breathtaking. My Mom was so gifted and we are hoping to be able to share her art as long as we are able. Again, I thank you for your sweet comments. I do appreciate them! xoxo

    I am not generally a quilt person, but WOW! I would have loved to have seen more detailed photos of her work in this quilt (Im sure I can't get the full appreciation from this photo). You are right, your Mum was truly blessed by God with an amazing talent. I wanted to share with you how inspired I am by seeing this quilt. Thank you so much for sharing.

    Thank you so much, Kaarin, for taking the time to comment, I appreciate your kind words. I found a better photo to post (though it is taken through glass at the library) it includes a bit more detail. xoxo
