What I Was Doing

In the spring of 2001 I started stitching Nova by Genny Morrow.  I got through it by stitching one or two blocks every morning before going to work.  After I finished a block I noted the date on the chart before moving onto the next. On that morning the news was on in the background and I was working on block J-15 and had just started block J-16.  When I overheard the news my hands were shaking so badly I had to put down my work.  I always finished a block before putting the stitching aside.  Not this one.  I had to finish it later on that evening. That's the block in the center right.  The green one with some pick and rust. I don't always take notes as I stitch or keep I diary.  I'm glad I did in this case. I stitched the final block on January 14, 2002 and had it framed shortly thereafter.
