If you’ve been following my blog since last year you’ll perhaps remember the Thread Project cloths which I contributed to as a weaver of Lienzo I just wish I could hop on a plane..or boat and go and see them. It’s a good feeling that we can do something, even a little, towards supporting people in grief and I wish this type of opportunity could somehow be extended to others in the world whose homes, lives and families are being torn apart. Apparently people who have seen the panels in the Chapel have described them as ‘beautiful, awesome, and inspiring.’ Terry Helwig the founder of the project writes ‘St. Paul’s Chapel opened its doors and its heart to those seeking solace, hope and community during the eight-month relief effort at the World Trade Center site. A different color panel will hang on each of the six pillars; one panel of Sophia’s Mantle, woven with threads from four 9/11 families, will be on the main floor; and the other 42 panels will hang from the balcony.’ |

Hi:
I worked on one of the last panels for Sophia’s Mantle. I am in LA, CA and wish I too, could hop on a plane. What a wonderful experience to be a part of this tribute.
