Ruth can make me smile ear to ear when she calls me. Of course, I also realize this is a call to remind me that I need to do something. Ruth is one of the original East Alabama Hand Quilter's from our region. She sewed with Mozell Benson, one of her dearest longtime friends. Ruth is best known for her 'strip quilts.' She is a natural artist combining color and shape. The quilt shown was commissioned for an individual in New York. We have become very good friends over the years. She is particularly fond of Doug, my husband who displays her work in the counseling center. My son Keegan interviewed her a few years ago. Here is a post we made in '09 with our video.
