Tribute Fabric

Great example of tribute fabric that incorporates many of the best known phrases and names tied to September 11th.

American Spirit Quilt: Jo-Ann Fabrics 9/11 Tribute

Here we have a special tribute September 11th quilt kit offered by Jo-Ann Fabrics in 2002. The designer of the kit was an employee whose husband was a retired firefighter.

Brass Twin Towers Tribute

A solid brass tribute to the World Trade Center, and quite heavy. The Towers each have a clock in them, stopped at the time when the planes hit each tower. There are numerous examples of tributes like this. My collection features a handful, which are posted on this blog. Each example has its own features, but this one is pretty unique. I also think this qualifies as a sculpture piece.

Tribute Fabric

Another tribute fabric that features a mix of patriotic images and the well recognized firemen raising the flag at the Twin Towers site (depicted in a stamp issued by the USPS).

9/11 fabric

There are other examples of September 11th fabric that have been available. Here is one that is simple in design. This is another example of an object that is for everyday use (more specifically, a material to be used for the manufacture of clothing or other related item). Some have argued with me that other events in American history have impacted or been reflected in consumer goods and material culture that compare in scope to September 11th. As I continue to post my collection, the evidence will show that this is incorrect, and September 11th is beyond comparison.
