Her favorite words were: more, please, thank you, good, bye-bye. You can see videos of her on You Tube called Emma's Special Voice, and Emma Talking about her Voice.

What is your boy's name? Are you raising him or helping his parents raise him? Bless you for making his life richer and easier. He is truly a special boy!!

Sent you a pm...:-)

Got it out and it's different but definitely in the same family.

I would love to see a picture! I looked for markings on mine and there are none. I was hoping to see designer.

Thanks for taking the time to view. We are hoping to educate more people about disabilities. I think she is very special, but aren't grandma always partial to their own? In the picture of the kids on the trampoline, all 5 are ours. Penny

Looks a lot like tea towel fabric and the close up of the weave confirms it (for me, at least). It's very pretty.

I have no clue! But it washed up real nice and there is about 9-10 yards of it.

Thanks for helping!

No clue but it is cute ;)

OOOOOH! That fabric takes me back. We had kitchen (tea) towels like that. The dashes are for decoration. They are supposed to make the flowers look stitched on. That is happy fabric. Could I buy 24" of it? I would love to have Granny's kitchen towel hanging in my kitchen.
