A beautiful quilt for a heart touching story. May the Lord be with you and your family.

when my father passed, the funeral home covered him with a Card Tricks quilt to take him from the hospital. it was so soothing that when our son committed suicide, we used the same funeral home. When we went to make arrangements for his viewing, i asked about the quilts they had. the young man didn't know the names of the ones that they had ( it was an old family run establishment) however they had prepared our son for my spouse and i to say good bye to before the public viewing that evening. He was already covered with a beautiful blue and white "BlueGrass/Kentucky Star". I hunted months to find a pattern for it so i could make one. Finally found one in a book of 1880's quilts from Kentucky and have figured out how to do the stars (6 pointed), still need to figure the setting hexagons .
i will be making some Passage quilts for the local funeral home now.

I am so sorry for your loss, I too lost my Dad this last March, I am still looking for his email everyday, he was 94. I hope you can find comfort in believing that she is now in a better place, reunited with her loved ones. We will see them in time. May her memories keep you strong at this time, they will also keep her living on in your heart. My most heartfelt condolences to you and your family.
Respectfully.
