Do you remember when the headline on September 12th, 2001 in the Le Monde read “We Are All Americans“?

I do.

Do you remember the Parisians singing The Star Spangled Banner at Notre Dame?

I do.

I’m sharing the pattern because I just cannot let the events of November 13th 2015 pass by me unremarked. I cannot pretend that I’m not scared and hurt and deeply, terribly outraged. Stitching is how I’m coping. Maybe this little pattern will help someone else cope too.
