My dh's grandmother passed away last year and the family brought the paintings that she had made for each family member. It was a wonderful tribute to a wonderful lady.
I enjoy when the talents of the person are shared with the world. I think it celebrates the person's life!
And saying that, I hope my family will do the same for me when it's my time. I'm certain that they would agree that quilting has been a HUGE part and love of my life!
