Coffin cover

I bought a new refrigerator in June, 2005. This replaced a 23 year old one that my son has in his shop and it is still running fine. The new one however has problems. Yesterday I noticed the milk was warm, but I was leaving for the afternoon and didn't think too much about it. When I got home it was still warmer than usual so I decided to call the repair man this morning. The first question is: "Did you buy the extended warantee?". To me that question says "You know nothing lasts anymore, of course it will break down". Well, anyway, I'm waiting for the repairman.

Now on to the coffin cover. In 2003 a friend of mine was diagnosed with 5 brain tumors. She had radiation and the chemo pill and seemed to be doing well, and then she started having seizures. They told her the tumors were back and growing and there was nothing more they could do for her. She passed away 6 weeks later.

While she was ill I was working on this piece. I had no idea what I was making, no plan. When I sewed it together it was this long narrow shape and I said it looked like a coffin cover. I have never shaken the idea that it is the right shape to be draped over a coffin. It is kind of eerie, like why did that pop into my head? I have mixed feelings about finishing it. It is 43" x 72".
All of the fabrics are batiks except the setting triangle fabric.
Yippee, the repairman is here and says it is a bad fan in the freezer which is what blows the air up into the refrigerator. He has one with him and he is repairing as I type. I see spell check still isn't working so I will come back later and check it myself.
