Ruth (she/her) is a versatile and skilled seamstress with a passion for creativity. Ruth's expertise spans across various sewing projects, from crafting quilts and clothing to delightful toys. Her flair extends to embroidery and intricate hand-stitching techniques, adding unique touches to her creations.

During the pandemic, Ruth exemplified her community spirit by collaborating with a local hospital. She took the initiative to produce instructional videos on mask-making, aiding in the effort to combat the shortage of protective gear. Alongside a dedicated team of volunteers, Ruth's contributions resulted in the production of over 30,000 masks—a testament to her commitment to service and innovation.

Beyond her sewing talents, Ruth fulfills the role of a dedicated homeschooling mom to her middle schoolers. In her cherished moments of leisure, she immerses herself in the world of literature, indulging in a diverse range of genres from historical fiction to captivating sci-fi adventures.

Ruth's passion for creativity, coupled with her altruistic spirit and love for learning, embodies a truly inspiring individual.
Learners are welcome to come to their first live class without materials if they’d like help brainstorming a project idea.  

If you’d like to dive right in, please come to class with 4-5 coordinating fabrics.  In total, you’ll need about 1.5 yards of fabric to make up the front of a quilted blanket.

Threads and Notions:  We’ve shared a few links for products.  You don’t need those specific ones.  We’ve included them as examples and to make shopping easier, if you’d like.  However, if you have a similar item on hand, you are welcome to use those!
◘100% polyester thread
◘A spare sewing machine needle - They can break, so it is always good to have a spare on hand.  
◘Straight pins or clips - https://a.co/d/55vsI4l or https://a.co/d/5nCbqrj 
◘Good quality scissors (Good quality isn’t code for expensive…. Quality, budget scissors exist!)  https://a.co/d/2Q8h1Vd 
◘Iron and ironing board or pad - An ironing board is ideal if your learner wishes to progress with sewing and tackle more advanced projects.  However, an ironing pad will work great for this project.  https://a.co/d/hfV7b4m
