I first meet Emma many years ago. We were in a folkart painting class
at the Yankee Drummer in Fair Oaks. Our paths began way back then,
before Tayo's and Folsom Quilt Guild, Gypsy Traders etc. I will
always treasure the many happy memories. It has been my privilege to
model your wearable garments over these many years. Today I spent
some time going through some old photographs. One that struck me was
when Cynthia Vonessacos and myself modeled your black and white
outfits. The striped tights were so funny we could hardly stop
laughing. Remember the pennyrug jacket sleeves. I'll never forget.
You came to me and said that you had this great idea. You wanted to
have knit sleeves to match these socks. I told you that the hardest
part would be finding the yarn to match. Two days later you called me
and said "I found the yarn when can you start?" After the sleeves
were finished you tried on the socks and found that the calf on one
was smaller than the other. Well at any rate I have a picture of me
modeling that outfit and it always makes me smile. There are so many
things that make you a very special person. My prayers are with you
and your family. Peggy Clark

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.
