Getting to Know Ruth Schmuff

The newest Shining Needle Society class is going to be taught by Ruth Schmuff, so if you are interested in taking a cyberclass with Ruth, here's your chance.  Note that you have to be a Shining Needle Society member to participate but that's easy.  Just email Kate and she'll get you set up.  It doesn't cost anything but you will be exposed to Mucho Temptation!

Ruth's updated her profile on one of her websites and I thought you might find it very interesting to learn more about one of the most prominent needlepoint shop owners and teachers around.  Enjoy getting to know Ruth!
