Emma, My First Quilting Teacher

First and foremost, I am deeply saddened by the passing of Emma.  My heart goes out to her family.
 
I starting quilting about 20 years ago.  But my first real class was taught by Emma and it was a Landscape and Illusion class.  When I got the supply list I saw "rotary cutter" on it.  I was sure I was on my way to the hardware store to pick up some kind of saw.  Oh, the things I have learned since then.  I still have that piece.  That was the beginning of my wonderful, stress relieving, creative and expensive "habit".  I have Emma to thank for that.  Emma was probably the most creative, talented artist I have ever met.  My thoughts and prayers are with her family.  God Bless you all.
Sincerely, Vicki L. Johnson,  Newcastle, CA

What is Your Emma Story?

This blog is a chance to remember and honor Emma by bringing us together in a way that can only be done through a medium like the internet. We love her, we will miss her, but she's here for a short time still, and we want to smile and cry and laugh together with her as much as possible while we can.

Emma has touched a monumental number of lives through her work as a mother, grandmother, friend, teacher, artist, and to Ted as a dear wife. There are countless stories that have already been told many times, and there are many others that we're going to learn for the first time as we read them here.

PLEASE SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS, STORIES AND PICTURES!!!

Not only will we be able to laugh and smile together, even after Emma has passed, but we will be sharing this blog with Emma. If you have a story, long or short, silly or sad, pensive or outrageous, please take some time and share it with us and Emma.

This is such a dear time for all of us. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and prayers.

It's easy! To post to Emma's blog, send an email to emmaallebes.post@blogger.com. If you have a picture(s) that you would like to add, make it an attachment to the email. Your email will post automatically.

Please remember to include your name somewhere in the email/post.
