Each square represents
another life lost in
middle eastern war zone—
eight in the series
shown here in early June
Some panels are hand
sewn, artful, professional,
with pictures, testimonials
from loved ones
Others are hand written
scrolled with mistakes
but the feeling of loss
and emotion is clear
Next year more panels
will be sewn
another quilt
assembled
Maybe two
