I'm not sure when quilts and banners will be put together, but I will definitely share. It's a big project and my meager six squares are barely a drop in the bucket.

These are the goals:

1 quilt for those who passed
1 quilt for those who survived
49 wall banners for families that lost their loved ones
53 banners for those who survived
11 banners for the officers who were first responders
banners for the hospital, fire department, police department, emergency personnel

Here are a couple new little guy finishes.

This one is for the Rainbows for Peace and Comfort project.

This one is a Riolis kit - I added the words. I wish the beads showed up better in the photo - they're really pretty in person.

I love the wording you have put on the Dandelion seed head, oh so true too - who hasn't picked one carefully to blow on it and make a wish.
Thanks for the memory Debby.
A beautiful finish on both of them

Beautiful choice in the color changes for your butterfly. It is quite lovely.

I have a couple new little guy finishes. First up is Candy Corn of Mischief by Bent Creek, stitched on 18 count linen over two with Perle cotton:

Image

And next is Falling Leaves by Fireside Originals, stitched on 32 count dill Lugana with fibers I had in my stash, and using Kreinik braid instead of beads. I've had this one for awhile and feel pretty pleased that all fibers and fabric came from stash. As is usual with Fireside Originals, the chart and stitch illustrations are not the best, but thanks to Google and my own logic, I think it came out quite nice. I'll probably take it Hobby Lobby this week for framing.
