Emma

Emma
You are one of the most artistic quilters I have ever met.  I was so impressed with the Golden Bear quilt you put in this years quilt show.  More than all the beautiful quilts and wearable art you created is your attitude.  You are the person who is always ready to help other quilters.  Your patience, your kindness and your wonderful smile is what I will always remember.  At Zephyr Cove retreat in May, I was having difficulty figuring out how to finish a quilt.  I was trying to finish this quilt for my dear friend Debbie who died so that I could give it to her daughter.  You had told me that you would help me.  Then it turned out that I had to leave a day early because Pam hurt her back and I needed to drive her home.  When you found out I was leaving you told me to call you and I could come by your house and you would help me.  I did not do this because I didn't want to impose on your time.  But your generosity of spirit in always reaching out to help and encourage others is something that all of us at Folsom Guild will never forget. 

May God bless you and your family.

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.
