Yours was on the show, Rita! I missed the first couple (I thought Sewing
With Nancy was going to be on, but the music I was hearing just didn't fit with the show so I thought I should check to see what was going on), but then yours was about the third or fourth one after that I think. Even though I'd seen it before on your Web site, it was really impressive to see it on the big screen. Congratulations again for a job well done. -- Louise in Iowa nieland4 at mchsi dot com http://community.webshots.com/user/louiseiniowa "Rita" wrote in message . .. Which quilts did they show?

My husband and I were able to see the "United in Memory" memorial quilt that
has a block for every victim of 911. It was on display for 3 days at our local community college last weekend. No charge to get in either, although donations were welcomed. There are over 100 panels each with 25 blocks, each one dedicated to someone who perished that day. A few were for couples who perished; there were also several grouping for entire families. It was very emotional to see. I contributed a block for a victim that died in the WTC. He lived in the next town over from me. My husband knew I was working on a block but had no idea the enormity of the project or the emotional impact it would have on him. His son just started boot camp in the Marines two weeks ago, so it hit him harder than he expected. We tried to read as many of the blocks as we could. It was very moving, very somber and very comforting all at the same time. The quilt will be coming to NY soon. If you get a chance to see it, don't miss it. There are boxes of tissues at the end of each row of panels. Take a few, you'll need them. -- Alice in NJ, Royal Cybrarian http://www.ourcyberfamily.us http://www.ourcyberfamily.us/RCTQ/index.htm (add a recipe) "Time is that quality of nature which keeps events from happening all at once.

Alice,
I too did a block for the "United in Memory" quilt. I had planned to help quilt it, but had broken my finger the day before I was planning to go to Long Beach. Saw the quilt the first weekend it was on display. Went up to the Queen Mary, and boy did that make an impact on me. You hear about the number of almost 3,000, but until you see the blocks that were made for each person, the number is huge, but almost unimaginable, the quilt put it in real perspective for me, especially the panels that had the blocks for an entire family put together as a group. Whenever it gets back here again, I want to go again. Everyone should try to see it when it comes to town. Debbi in SO CA "AliceW" wrote in message ...

Thanks Louise. I'm disappointed I missed it. Power keeps going on off at
intervals and didn't get a TV guide this past week. Nuts! -- Rita http://ritasquilts.com "Louise" wrote in message news:7jL0d.158305$9d6.69797@attbi_s54... Yours was on the show, Rita!
