Pall Quilt

This quilt, called a pall quilt, will be used to cover my casket at my funeral and memorial service. It is my personalized version of a traditional pall, a liturgical cloth used in many Christian denominations. It represents the flowers that would traditionally adorn my casket. It is 100% cotton, and I hand-quilted every stitch. I was inspired to make it after seeing the heart pattern on TV, representing all the love in my life. Mary Perryman, at the extension office in Thomasville, GA, was my quilting teacher, and I have been quilting for over 30 years. It is my passion!
