Hi all... sorry... I looked on the back of the calendar and there's no info... so I don't know who published it? But I love the idea of etching/engraving a simple quilt/block on the headstone!
some of you are so funny! love all the remarks!! Love you all!!

We got on the subject of funerals and quilts at our last retreat. One of the ladies said that She wanted all the people that she had made a quilt for, to bring them to her funeral.
I had not thought about a going away quilt, but I may have to make one. I have already told my family that I want to be buried in a pretty long gown and housecoat. I believe in being comforable. LOL

last year when we sold the parents house instead of getting the money each of the five kuds had to do our funeral arrangments. I don't have a headstone yet but my coffin has a quilt pattern on the lid inside & the blankie on the top is a quilt so is the pillow . Haven;t thought about the headstone yet. Tumrub

My daughter in law is a funeral director and son does headstones so I think they have it all figured out already.
My aunt was murdered a few years ago but an unknown person who got into her car...anyway her little memorial folder had photos of her quilts as well as the saying, "Housework Never, Quilting Whenever" or something like that. I think my ddil stuck that in my little "arrangement" folder at the funeral home.
And we all know "she who dies with the most fabric is still dead so when is the yard sale".

And PS. I have seen a headstone with a grandmother's flwer garden etched into it. Very nice. I would rather have some nice words inscribed into the stone. Found a great grandmother's headstone in Mississippi. I did not know her so it meant so much to me to read "A tender mother and a faithful friend."
