Jessica will love the gift. I should let you see my two heirloom Hawaiian quilts made by my Grandma. She put a lot of work into them and I have been instructed never to use them on a bed- crazy. I think my grandma's ghost would haunt me if I put them on anything but a wall. I'd love to see them!! I wonder if the "don't use it on the bed" rule comes from (the superstition?) You should never sit on a quilt. I think it was less about superstition and more about my Grandma(dad's mom) being pissed that my mom actually used the quilt that they were given and didn't take the best care of it. I remember it being tattered in the end. FORMERLY, theded1 [ Edited by: TIKI KAIMUKI 2007-05-25 18:50 ]
