I was in bed---my sister inlaw called from Fresno hysterical and told us to turn the TV on...we did , in time to see the second plane hit. That was a horrible day.
The following year, 2002, at the Pacific International Quilt Festival, there was a display of "9-11" quilts. Beautifully done, they captured all the raw emotions of that day. It was a difficult display for me to look at.
