I signed up for this pattern recently with LearningFA Yahoo group. It's made of 2 1/2" squares. It's a great way to use up that scraps of Christmas fabric. It was very easy to make. I did this one last evening. I still need to whip stitch the area of the truck where quilt was turned. I'm also planning to edge stitch around the entire tree. The directions don't call for quilting but I may decided to stitch in the ditch of each square. I think these will make great Christmas presents for family and friends.
The Story of Emma's Tree
This little quilt is called Emma's Tree in the memory of Miriam's daughter who died of breast cancer at age 29. During her daughter's illness, Miriam had difficulty sleeping and spent many hours in her sewing room making these little quilts for family and friends. Now they are called Emma's Trees and are being made by people in many countries around the world. What a great tribute to Miriam and her daughter, Emma.

Pam,
What a lovely idea that lady had to remember her daughter. I love how your little tree turned out.
They would make great gifts for sure. :)
I love this tree and the story behind it....pretty sad though.....I cant imagine losing my daughter at age 29 to breast cancer.......
Que historia tan triste, pero este proyecto simboliza el amor de una madre hacia una hija, y darle su nombre al proyecto es màs bonito. Bendiciones y adelante.
Is there a pattern to make this? They are really cute and the story behind them saddens me i couldn’t imagine what she went through
I would like to know where to get the pattern.
Good day I would like to know where to find the pattern so i can make some from family.My email is sky2@mts.net
I’d be willing to purchase this pattern along with all these people , if you could let me know how and where.
I think the Emma Tree pattern would be very popular.
Greetings:
I too would like to know if I could obtain this pattern as well. I believe I understand how to assemble the front of the tree using 2 1/2" squares, but what do you do for the backing? It would be nice to actually have the pattern to make sure the quilt is put together appropriately. This is the second year I have tried to find the pattern but it just does not seem to be available. Thank you for any assistance you may be able to prvide.
Would you have the pattern or the directions on how to make it please?
I made one and it came together super easy and fun. I believe the pattern is with the designer and mom of Emma. She kindly requests you continue to use the same name , "Emma's Tree", to continue honoring her daughter.
