Kathy Emmel has been interested in her family history since she learned that early relatives settled in Jamestown, Virginia in the 1600s. Her Virginia grandmother was a genealogist and a wonderful storyteller.
Kathy has been studying genealogy and making quilts for over 40 years and hopes these passions are passed along to her grandchildren. She loves to share how she has been able to create quilts that tell family stories as well as present historical facts about the time in which family members lived.
The most exciting part of being a genealogist is uncovering wonderful, previously unknown family information for herself and for others.
