In 2005 Ruth created the background portions for 2 banners for a church in Kenya. The banners adorn church buildings that were built in August 2005 by a group of adult workers from Webster Presbyterian Church. This photo shows one of the banner backgrounds. Another person later applied an appliqué image to the banner background.

Ruth also designed and made this Queen-sized bed quilt that she calls Hungarian Puzzle.  The design is an adaptation of the Puzzle Quilt design.  Ruth calls it Hungarian Puzzle because the blue patterned fabrics came from Hungary.  David's mother brought them back from one of her numerous travels to various parts of the world.
