Very nice finish, Staci.
As for the poem, important words to always remember.

What did you stitch on the other side?

What a lovely tribute. I had almost forgotten that tomorrow was September 11.

Thanks for the link to the freebie and for the very touching poem you posted. That day is always close to my heart because I grew up only a few miles from that area. My parents still live there and I know my hometown has never been the same since September 11, 2001.

Staci,
Thanks for the great remembrance. I can remember exactly where I was that day and the whole day events. It seems like it was just yesterday.'

I love the new look on your blog. Very Festive! Where do you get those star eyelets? We have looked high and low up here and cannot find any. Very nice floss tag.

Beautiful! Thank you for this post Staci.

Every American should always remember this date and forever hold the memory of what happened that day.

I love that you stitched a remembrance!

This date is very important to always remember. I, too, remember where I was when I got the news. Not only was it tragic on so many levels, it was my nephew's birthday. We will always remember. No one will know the pain this tragedy has caused for so many people. It is important that we always appreciate the support and courage of all who were touched by this event. Thank you for the poignant reminder.

Hi
Tears still come to my eyes when I see the terrible images in the portuguese television each year in this date. On the other side of world it seemed to us impossible something like that could happen.
Best regards

Hi Staci,

That's a lovely little design,
and it is perfect for a floss
tag. The star shaped gromit
is a nice finish to the whole
piece.

The Prairie Schooler square
that you stitched for Carol
turned out beautifully!! And
I love that finishing style.
The yellow based fabric with
the red trims is so pretty
and the little lacy bow is
neat. Carol must be just
tickled to receive this.

I'm starting my Fall decorating
tomorrow since it's going to be
a rainy day anyways. I've got
some new stuff from Avon to
put out, and I'm looking forward
to seeing the house dressed for
Fall. And besides, the dust
bunnies and the tumblefurs
(instead of weeds) are getting
a bit overwhelming.

Cheers!!
