Ruth grew up in Japan and learned basic Sashiko from an elderly neighbor. Ruth made her first quilt in 1990 - a queen sized hand-appliqué and hand-quilted Hawaiian pineapple quilt - and she has never looked back. In her own unique style, she loves to use new techniques mingled with the old and her work usually shows the influence of her years spent in Japan. Ruth and her husband live in Colorado Springs, CO.
