Sew Happy Service Corps with Ronnie Ashford – G26070408
Join us and work on assigned sewing projects for Ghost Ranch, amidst the immense beauty of the land, along with the satisfaction of giving from your heart and your hands. All levels of sewing/quilting experience are welcome (even those who have never sewn before). There are many steps in the process that require no sewing. It’s always a surprise to see what
“Special Project”we will be asked to create, make, or mend for the Ranch. Just be aware that as you share your time and talents this week- know that your skills will help to beautify and give back to this Sacred Space. There will be plenty of learning, chatter, giggles and laughter as new friendships are built and old ones renewed.

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!’’
