Did you all see the quilted PT Cruiser in the Sisters, OR show? I suppose if you can make a car cover, a headstone should be a snap.

I wonder if you could make a quilted cover for a headstone and then spray it heavily with acrylic to weatherproof????

Hmmmm... maybe this would be a good time to try those new laminated fabrics?

I have to try something once someone says "It can't be done." Makes me want to look into what the others have said with tile. What about making a mini quilt with a plastic cover over it set into the headstone? What about etching? It would be expensive but I am worth it! Especially if I pay for it before I go. :) Now I have something ELSE to think of in the back of my mind.

And I was thinking, well, make a quilt, and encase it in plexiglass and use that as the headstone. Where do I come up with these things???

Great saying. I would do exactly what was done so everyone I know who would be making that important decision would know exactly what I want on my headstone.
