In 2001 my best friend and I flew to Houston from the west Texas area for International Quilt Festival for the first time. My children were worried, but I told them, it was probably the safest time to fly...one month after 9-11-01!!! The festival organizers hastily put together a quilt exhibit in honor of the 9-11-01 tragedy. It was an awesome exhibit and I will never forget it. My thoughts and prayers are still with those effected by this tragedy.
