My great uncle used to weave using the left overs from my great aunt's spinning and knitting. At the funeral his casket was draped with one of his rugs.
I worked with a florist for a number of years. We did a funeral for a young woman in our community and did 64 arrangements and we weren't the only florist that delivered to the funeral home. It's good to see families asking for no flowers but gifts to charities instead. The quilt is a wonderful idea.
