horse quilt for second youngest son,

Beautiful work!!
Thanks for sharing!

great work

Love both blue ones. The horse quilt is great for the horse lover in your life:)

I have not heard of this type quilt before. Is this used instead of flowers on the casket?

Whatever the use, it is beautiful!

Our Home and Community Education group, used to be called Homemakers, were asked to make them. Actually they are called Passsage Quilts and they are placed over the black bag as a person is removed from a home or accident or nursing home after they have passed on. So the family remembers the quilt and not the bag. Our local funeral home director stopped me one day and said, I took the baby size to the hospital to pick up a still born child, instead of putting the baby into a bag I just wrapped it in the quilt, Not only the parents, but the staff cried and thanked me as I carried the baby to the hearse. Now that makes it all worthwhile. They use them over and over. We have had great reviews about them. We make sets of one adult, one youth and one baby for each place that asks for them. We even made patriotic ones for the Veteran Homes.

:thumbup: :-D :thumbup: great work!

love the quilts, thanks for sharing

What a wonderful idea. When my Dad was removed the service had the most gorgeous silk roses and to this day I remember that and never even think about him being in a black bay. But I sure like the quilt idea even better!

What a wonderful idea in a time of sadness...your work is beautiful
