My sister has instructions that when I pass this mortal coil, instead of spending money on flowers for my casket, it will be draped with my Memory Quilt. Flanking my casket will be the quilt my grandmother made for me, the one my mother made for me, our Anniversary quilt (50 years) and whatever ones I prize dearly and will then be passed on to our son and his wife and our grandchildren. I want a Christian burial, but there are some quilting things I want put in also.
I am not quite looking forward to this day, yet, but I used to work in a florist shop and I don't really want blown roses or old flowers for decorations! Send me a plant that will live for a while!!!!! It's not going to do me any good but it may be a remembrance for someone else (not that I am that memorable), but it is such a waste (altmii (at least to me it is). But I did love the idea of the coffin quilt. Edie
A little off the subject, but I just repotted the fern my x-FIL got while in the hospital before his death in 1985. My DD, his granddaughter, is moving into a new home and her grandma wanted it saved.
