September 11 comes around every year.<\/p>\n

If anyone says September 11, I think about my mom calling me and telling me to turn on the TV and how that changed everything even though I didn’t know it. I was home alone that morning as DH was out of town and I was trying to get the YM to pre-school and get to my job. I couldn’t process those planes crashing into the World Trade Center, the passengers taking over the flight that eventually crashed in the field in Pennsylvania and the Pentagon. I think of how quiet the skies were for days after. I remember watching TV for hours with DH and seeing the same images over and over. I think of the years of violence that make up our lives today.<\/p>\n

\"Fireball\"<\/a>

I made two quilts to do something to mark-commemorate-remember (I don’t really know the right word. Send a message?). The first was done very quickly and sent off to Houston to be displayed in a commemorative display at Quilt Festival and Market.<\/p>\n

Fireball is a reaction to all the fire that was shown on TV. It is a woven quilt. I have made a few woven quilts, though not in a while. I cut the strips and wove them together, then quilted over the top of the weaving. The strips were raw edge.<\/p>\n

\"What<\/a>
What Comes Next, 2011-2012<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The second quilt is also an art quilt. It took me longer and was my wish\/prayer for the future. It is called What Comes Next. Clearly my wishes were not acknowledged because the things I wanted to come out of that terrible day were not what came out of it.<\/p>\n

This quilt has similarities to my Blood and Oil<\/a> quiltand the more recent, Down the Drain<\/a> quilt. Someday I’d like to use those paper doll motifs again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
