Agree with putting pictures in it with family members along with the pansies.
Know your main concern was about the fabric but did want to share this with you: Try to find peace within yourself towards the mil. Mine is now in nh w/alzheimers.
Do set boundaries or maybe even 2 days a month that you will commit to going over and helping her w/anything! and have her keep a list of "to do"'s. my mil got used to it and our time with her became so much more enjoyable and then we in turn invited her over twice a month for a meal or walk in the park, grocery shopping, etc. Perhaps this may not work for every family situation. But it built trust, increased compassion towards one another and we all learned to be at peace.
