God Bless America....

May we always remember....

 I visited the 9/11 Museum this summer and came upon this amazing quilt....the Victims Quilt.  
 I started to read the plaque next to the quilt and immediately I remembered my mom telling me about this quilt. We didn't know it made it into the museum.
A wonderful quilt artist from my parents small town Connie Daniel was one of the people to design and make this quilt.  It has so much detail every victims picture is on this quilt. Little angels are next to the picture of moms that were pregnant. 
 My parents, my brother and his family, and my cousins and their families were all able to stitch on this quilt.  That how Connie was, she wanted to share her love of quilting with everyone.
You can read more about the quilt here.

What a wonderful tribute to all the loved ones who were victims of 9/11.
Remembering Connie who was a true quilt artist. 
Sadly Connie passed away and never saw this amazing quilt hanging in the museum.

God Bless America,

Leanne
