Tapestry for 9/11 victims MINNEAPOLIS -- A life-size tapestry to honor and remember the victims of the September 11th terrorist attacks is being created by local textile artist Mindy de Marmion. The purpose of the tapestry, "Towers of Peace -- A Tapestry of Remembrance and Unity," is to serve as a healing symbol for the victims of the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and the Pennsylvania plane crash, as well as to honor these victims as heroes. Once the tapestry is created, it will be presented to New York City, Washington D.C., and Somerset County, Pa., for display purposes. The tapestry will be created from garments owned by the victims of September 11th. To create this tribute, all families of all victims worldwide will be invited to contribute a piece of fabric from a garment that belonged to each of the victims. These pieces will be joined together to create the tapestry. The name and birthdate of each victim will be permanently inscribed on the back of the tapestry. A not-for-profit corporation of the same name, Towers of Peace -- A Tapestry of Remembrance and Unity, has been created to handle the logistics involved in creating the tapestry. First National Bank of the Lakes, Navarre, Minn., will serve as the funds host for the tapestry project. Mindy de Marmion, owner of Pieced on Earth by Late Bloomers, a local textile arts business, has been creating wearable art, wall pieces and hand-dyed textiles for six years. Her work has appeared in galleries and boutiques in the Minneapolis and Duluth areas. "The events of September 11th absolutely devastated me," she said, "and I searched not only for a healing outlet for my own grief, but also for a way to use my art to help heal the wound that terrorism has inflicted on our world. This tapestry is my way of honoring the heroes of September 11th, and also honoring America's unwavering commitment to freedom."
