dublb, That sounds like quite an event for the 09/11 remembrance. Yes, it seems like a good history lesson for home schooled children, or anyone.
QNS, Great blocks! It looks like the 6" Bible block series has lots of pieces just like the 1930s Sampler did. I've always loved that fish block-- it's on my to-do list, if I ever get to it though, I don't know.
