Ruth Rae’s Forever Yours Class

Ruth even made herself an outfit to match the project we were making in class.  The pictures don’t even do it justice – it is truly a work of art!

We had so much fun at the Ruth Rae class at the Charity Wings Art Center over the weekend.  She is so talented and such an amazing teacher!  The attendees walked away with some fantastic new information, tips, and techniques. 

Even our class kits were pretty – like little gifts waiting for each of us to open!

 

Ruth is a very patient and skilled instructor.  She finds ways of making her projects easy and accessible for others.

Here is Ruth sharing her techniques for dyeing fabrics and trims.

”The minute I heard my first love story I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along.” Jalal Ad-Din Rumi

Hopeless romantic? This project is perfect for you! A pocket in a hand made bag holds love letters that are bundled together with ribbon. Open the drawstring bag to reveal a special book made to hold romantic notations and tokens of endearment. As you unfold the layers of stitched love interconnected envelopes and pockets, a love story unfurls. Inside you will create, fluffy lavender filled hearts with terms of endearment sewn onto them, tokens and baubles to attached as a reminder of the beauty, grace and truth in love.

We will provide most of the supplies and a beautiful lunch to spend with Ruth Rae and your new friends.

Bring with you:
