dead person quilt
i am taking a poll. how creepy is it on a scale from one to ten to make a quilt made from you dead grandparents clothing. and if it isnt creepy is there a chance it will encourage hauntings or visitations, both of which i am against.
hmmm more importantly how would you feel about a quilt that smelled like my grandma...and i hope you arent holding the fact she refused to believe you were white against her when you make your decision.
i'm a bad person to ask...i won't even go to an antique show because i'm down right convinced that anything once owned by now dead people is haunted - regardless of how sweet and innocent grandma was..sorry grandma
i am ok with hauntings. i mean, they scare the shit out of me even if they're infants. but they're cool, right? anywho, grammy didn't like me because she thought i was brown. but i always took it as a compliment when she said "both of your roommates are ethnic". but a quilt by someone ELSE'S dead grandparent? i don't know about that...
oh grandma didnt dislike you. she just wanted to make sure you were here legally. i cleared the whole thing up by showing her your birth certificate. i am thinking the log cabin pattern. grandma would have liked that.
i think that making a quilt out of dead-people's clothing is good for an environmental point of view, you know, recycling and all that. i also like the idea because one of my favorite authors is doctorow and tries to fashion his novels after this kind of quilting--creating new material out of fragments of discarded material.
and i agree with becky. you should always do everything in your power to try and get visited (and even haunted) by ghosts. i tried using a oijia board the other day, but it didn't work.
i watched volver. i am highly against hauntings. i get nervous in church when people are telling touching stories about grammy coming back while they are in the hospital. i pray that people WONT come back to visit.
i am currenly sleeping with a denim/ polyester combo quilt made from old janitorial pants. when i wake up i have an insatiable desire to do genealogy. so yeah, there's that.

i watched volver. they gave the timely advice to throw away a dead person's clothes...
you watched volver?

but i really like the fabric so i am making it.
you wouldn't want me to come back and visit you? i would pet your head and everything.
i watched volver too. it was about dead people and incest. good show.
i also watched reign over me.
i also watched stranger than fiction and spanglish? geez, did i do anything else this weekend?
dont touch me with your ghost hands.
also, i wish volver would have been more about food preperation and how the wind affects your sanity. but i still liked it a lot.
