She is an active member of the Kaw Valley Fiber Guild in Kansas and a well-known fiber artist in Lawrence, KS. Emilia designs knit and crochet patterns, weaves, embroiders, and haskins and hand-dyes her own yarns. She is a creative and curious person whose travels and academic life have allowed her to be in contact with many craft and textile artists and traditions in Europe and Latin America.
