Artist's Statement: "I have been quilting since 1982, when a friend taught me the basics in our first quilt class. I have never looked back. I decided on this technique as a 'take along project', whenever I had a few free moments I would add another square or two or more depending on how much time I had. That was at the beginning of the project, it later took over my whole life and everything else was put on hold. Exchanging these squares via the Internet was a whole new experience for me not to mention getting to know new friends from all over the world. What a small world we have become thanks to the Internet. "

This quilt was selected to go to Houston as a part of our exhibit, but it never made it to Festival. The poor health of Ruthie's husband required her to stay by his side instead of delivering her quilt to Houston.
