Freedom Quilts Receives Steel and Soil from Ground Zero

Through the years, have dedicated time, love and compassion in our goal to assure every 911 victim's family receives a quilt in honor of their loved one. In return, so many of these families have reached out to us and have given us the warmest of thank you's.

We are also deeply grateful to have received some very special honors. We were honored to add our stitch and help repair the National 9/11 Flag that was found at Ground Zero. The National Memorial Museum of 911 accepted one of our5 original quilts -- War Paint -- to be on display at the museum. And, we have been deeply honored to receive an urn of soil and a piece of steel from Ground Zero.

We cherish the kindness family members have extended to us, and we keep these sacred items on safe display so visitors to the Freedom Quilts shop can remember... Remember the lives that were lost on 911 and remember the need to comfort those who have lost a loved one.
