THE MAKING OF RUTH'S WEDDING QUILT

After Ruth announced in October 2001 that she and Craig were getting married, Shannon and I decided to make them a quilt for a wedding present (well, actually I decided and then talked Shannon into it).  We started working on it in late November 2001 in great secrecy.  Shannon came over to my house a number of times over the winter, but we had to be careful not to let Ruth find out (since Shannon lives an hour away from me, she doesn't usually just come over on a whim).  We even worked on the quilt in the office a couple of times while Ruth was gone!  The quilt took SECOND PRIZE at the prestigious Durham, CT Fair in 2002!!
