Our online booking system is down. Please call 505.685.4881 or 505.685.1019 to register for this workshop. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Want to learn to quilt or know how and want to spend time building your skills and sewing with friends, all the while surrounded by glorious southwest scenery? I heard you say YES – Perfect – you will have several fun simple quilt patterns to choose from to make a 50” x 60” throw sized quilt or you can choose from special themed quilt blocks to build your very own “Ghost Ranch Quilt”.
There will be time to learn how to “Quilt” the quilt on your sewing machine. All skill levels of quilters are welcome, even those”brand new, never have sewn a stitch, want to try it quilters”. Feel free to bring along a problem quilt for some extra help or a special unfinished project to work on too. Best of all create memories and new friendships under the cottonwoods.

Ronnie Ashford
Rogene E. Ashford “Ronnie” from Tulsa, OK, has created “Art” since early childhood. At about eight years old, she got into trouble for creating a very large mural in charcoal on the side of the freshly painted stucco garage! She learned to do embroidery at an early age and remembers playing under the quilt frame while her mom, aunties and grandmother stitched and talked. She studied art through high school and college. Throughout her life, she has tried her hand at many art mediums; two mediums of her art have always been paint and thread. Ronnie is an award winning quilter and is active in several local quilt guilds. She has a small ministry of refurbishing older sewing machines and getting them to gals that would love to have a sewing machine, but cannot afford one. Ronnie currently works as a Mental Health Therapist and an Adjunct Professor at Southern Nazarene University. She enjoys family, friends, art, her chickens, gardening, handwork, music, painting, quilting, reading, walking/running and writing. Her philosophy in life is “Laugh Loudly, Live Fully, Love Deeply and Never Ever Go Backward!’’
