Schedule of Upcoming Multi-day Workshops

Please note:

Beginning in 2009, Ruth will be limiting her teaching to 5-day Designing from Nature workshops apart from some previously scheduled events, and limiting her travel to just a few of her favorite venues:

  • The Empty Spools Asilomar Conferences, in Pacific Grove, CA (in March for 2009)
  • The Cotton Patch, in Lafayette, CA (in May for 2009)
  • The Quilt Gallery, in Kalispell, MT - near Glacier National Park (in June for 2009)
Ruth will be focusing at the same time on establishing some close-to-home teaching locations in beautiful Western Massachusetts. This is a lovely rural area of wooded hills, fields, and valleys, home to many craftspeoples.

Each location Ruth has chosen in northwestern Massachusetts offers slightly different workshop settings:

In Western Massachusetts Workshops at Historic Deerfied, the classes are held at the beautiful and spacious White Church, within easy walking distance of the charming Deerfield Inn. In the midst of the Deerfield National Historic Site, surrounded by restored homes and museums - including major textile collections - this location is within 35 minutes of Bradley Airport in Hartford, Conn, and a two-hour drive from Boston.

  • Classes are scheduled for July 27-31, 2009, August 3-7, 2009, and October 19-23, 2009. Fabric shops are a five-to-ten mile drive away. Register at www.ruthbmcdowell.com/wmaworkshops

A Notion to Quilt, in Shelburne, MA, will sponsor two classes: April 16-19, 2009 and August 19-23, 2009. The classes will be held in the two classrooms a the shop, with bolts of fabric and notions at hand. Motels and B&Bs are a located within a short drive of the shop. The village of Shelburne Falls, about two miles from the shop, offers many shops as well as the remarkable gardens at the Bridge of Flowers. Register at www.anotiontoquilt.com.
