and the environment in which she grew up. Childhood days, living in the midst of a
flower farm, provided experiences that shaped who she is today.
Ruth’s love of flowers and nature shine forth in her beautiful embroidery designs. Her
delight is the beauty of nature was complimented by a avid family of sewers. She
remembers times as a small child, sitting on the floor near her mother’s sewing
machine, where her mother would stitch beautiful dresses for her. Ruth grew to love
sewing.
