Emily Martin No web page Sorry, Emily forgot to send photos.<\/span><\/p>\n\n \n\n Emily will be teaching two one-day classes and one two-day class on hand appliqu\u00e9.\u00a0 <\/span> How many years have you been quilting? If I count the baby quilt I made for Methuselah\u00a0it would be a much higher number.\u00a0 But I own up to doing it for 35 years, starting with patchwork and going into appliqu\u00e9 in the past 14 years.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n\n \n\n What motivated you to start quilting? Shortly after finishing my first appliqu\u00e9 project and showing it at our guild show, I began to get requests from fellow guild members to show them how to do the techniques used in that quilt.\u00a0 So, in my kitchen\u00a0I began what became a regular session of classes that reached some 75 ladies over a few years time.<\/p>\n\n \n\n Where have you traveled in your quilting teaching career? My teaching career has pretty much involved teaching in the tri state area of Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Maryland.\u00a0 2010 has opened it\u00a0up to a far greater range though.<\/p>\n\n \n\n Who is your favorite author? My favorite author is Kristin Heitzman but I also read Jan Karon and Leisa Kelly.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n \n\n What is the last book you read or are reading? The last book I read and enjoyed (sometimes\u00a0I read a book just for the need to read) was \u2026..\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0(Can’t remember the title of the book I want to put on # 5 but will send it when I find it out)<\/p>\n\n \n\n What is your birth order, only child, first, second, third, or ?? I was born fourth out of 6 children and had a Mom and Dad who had enough concern for all of us to get us a good education and lots of love.<\/p>\n\n \n\n Where did you grow up? My roots are from Pennsylvania.\u00a0 I grew up in a very small town ~ the kind with a main road and no stop-light.\u00a0 Gradyville was a wonderful place to live.\u00a0 You left the doors and windows unlocked and never worried about your safety.\u00a0 Do towns like that even\u00a0exist any more?<\/p>\n\n \n\n Where did you go to college? I attended a three-year nursing program In Wilmington, Delaware and still use my training.<\/p>\n\n \n\n Do you have children \u2013 grandchildren? \u00a0<\/span>Yes, we have five children and 11 of the most beautiful grandchildren (oops, sorry.\u00a0 Grandmother pride showing.)<\/p>\n\n \n\n Do you have any pets? No, we do not have pets right now because we are away from home so much with my teaching.\u00a0 But I love cats and dogs and we have had both.<\/p>\n\n \n\n \u00a0What is your favorite food? Fish! Unequivocally, I would eat it every night of the week.<\/p>\n\n \n\n Do you have any other hobbies besides quilting? Do I have other hobbies ~ oh, yes.\u00a0 I enjoy arranging flowers, I like to paint in oils, I will be in any singing group that comes my way but what I love most is having the grandchildren come for a visit.<\/p>\n\n \n\n What would be on your \u201cbucket list\u201d (like the movie) if you could do anything and money was no object? Never having seen the movie (I live a very sheltered life, don’t I?)\u00a0 I will go with my gut and say ~ I would love to have all the family together at a beach house and spend the week romping with them and doing the fun things they enjoy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n ]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[22,32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-71","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog","category-road-to-california"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=71"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=71"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=71"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=71"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
