We hope you’ll join us Friday evening for Emilie’s presentation, “Which Comes First, the Novel or the Quilt?” What's so special about quilts and quilting that quilters are brought together in such numbers to pursue their creativity and their human connections? What values bind us together? What do our quilts say about who we are and what we dream? As a long time quilter, Emilie Richards explores those questions in her Shenandoah Album novels, but who came first, the bestselling novelist, or the quilter? Emilie Richards is the author of more than sixty novels. Presently she writes the Shenandoah Album series about women in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley featuring quilts and quilters and using quilt block titles for each novel. She also writes the Ministry is Murder mysteries about a free-spirited minister's wife in a small Ohio town. Emilie, who has a master's degree in family development, lives in Northern Virginia with her husband, a Unitarian-Universalist minister. She is the mother of four and the grandmother of one, as well as a quilter whenever she has a free moment. Visit Emilie's web site, www.emilierichards.com,to learn more about her and the books she's written. |
