Her quilt was designed and made by Bev Gray, well known area quilter who also made Emily's eight queen dresses which Emily wore to festivals all over the state of Ohio. Each dress was carefully taken apart and the pieces were used to make the quilt which was presented to Emily by her parents Carl and Debi Roe on her 20th birthday.
