HOw wonderful that she treasured it so much that it earned a place of honor at her wake...You must be a very special quilter...
|
I cannot think of a greater honor.
|
How nice to know she really loved your gift. I would still be crying.
|
and that is why we quilt
|
I'd think it means even more than any blue ribbon to see your work cherished and appreciated like that.
|
Oh, how wondersul!
|
Those are the times when you're glad you're a quilter!

While I was still employed in a state office, one of the staff, a member of the Sioux Indian tribe lost her husband. She told me that each person who attended the services on the reservation in North Dakota was to get a blanket or quilt in his honor, so she was obtaining the needed pieces. She finally took two smallish quilts I had made for some young relatives. I felt honored to be a part of this. Some years later the escort military personnel who assisted in a burial of a soldier were also given quilts, along with those who had attended the services. This was reported in the press. What a wonderful tradition!!!

Oh that is so nice and what pride you must have felt to know she loved it.
