This fall, h+h americas commemorates 25 years since September 11 through the powerful work of award-winning quilter Carol Mesimer.
Mesimer’s piece, Remember Me, will be on display at h+h americas Fall Edition in Houston, Texas.

It features 3,023 hand-lettered fabric strips, each bearing the name of a life lost. Some portions of this work have not previously been displayed to the public. As a community of makers, we know that our craft can carry meaning far beyond the materials in our hands. It can help us remember, honor, process, and connect across generations.

Twenty-five years later, Remember Me offers a powerful opportunity to come together in reflection and remembrance.Join us in Houston to experience this thoughtful and deeply moving tribute in person at h+h americas Fall Edition. More information is here:
