 You're being included in this e-mail because you're part of an organization that our mother loved. 

 

In October 2009, our mother, Emma Allebes, died peacefully.  She left behind many creations, collectibles, thousands of yards of fabrics, hundreds of patterns & books.   

 

Over the past several months, family members have had the opportunity to select some of Emma's creations to keep as mementos of a wonderfully creative woman.    One of Emma's last wishes was that those creations and possessions that weren't kept in the family should find homes with people who would appreciate them which is why "The Emma Allebes Quilter's Collection Studio Sale" has been scheduled.

 

If you receive this more than once, it's because we're human and just doing the best we can, not because we're trying to inundate your inbox.

 

Thank you,

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.
