"Approximately 4 years ago, I sent two quilts down to Ruby from Homemade Stitches. I was absolutely astounded at the quality of the quilting, and the timely manner in which it was done. In 1999, I had attended a quilting workshop in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. There were two quilts I had started but never finished. One was a paper pieced Feathered Star wall hanging ( see quilt photo at left ) and the other was a queen size Morning Star quilt. These quilts sat on the back burner for a number of years... Recently I asked Ruby if she would be able to finish them for me and have them quilted... finishing other people's UFOs was not what she normally did, but she kindly committed to doing this. When these two quilts were returned to me, again I was so overjoyed at the quality of workmanship I ended up in tears. These two quilts were stunning to say the least. Any quilting in the future that I need to have done will be sent to no one else except to Ruby from Homemade Stitches!"

"Dear Ruby,
I received my quilt yesterday and I was really impressed with the quality of the hand-quilting. The woman who quilted it did a wonderful job and it certainly was well worth the wait. My husband could not believe that it was all hand-done. I will be sending you another quilt in the near future. Thanks for everything!" - Mary Ann K. - Texas

"Dear Ruby, Another great job of hand quilting. You and your ladies have provided the most beautiful hand quilting that really makes my projects extra special. Thank you again for your many years of dedication and the extraordinary talent you provide. I am also grateful for the friendship that has come from this. Bless you," Annie S. - Petaluma, CA "Ruby, I just want to say thank you for my dream come true. I have always wanted a custom quilt made for myself. Because I am not a quilter, and know little to nothing about quilting, you said you were more than happy to take on the project. The quilt is beautiful. I can see that you put your heart into it. Your skill with fabric and thread is to be admired. Thanks so much! Always," Yvonne T. Apple Valley, MN "Dear Ruby, Just a note to say "thank you" so very much. My sisters and I are so pleased with the quilt you put together and hand quilted. You took my elderly mother's cross-stitched squares and put them into a beautiful finished quilt. We presented the quilt to our mother on Christmas day. . . you should have been there when she opened the box! Ruby , you're an angel. Thanks for making our Christmas the best ever! God Bless you always," Barb M. - Belle Plain, MN "Hi Ruby, Another beautful quilt, handquilted by you. Ruby, you gals are wonderful and I hope you will always be there to finish my quilt for me! Thanks again and again," Kim H. - Auburn, CA "Dearest Ruby and Clara, I want to thank you both for all of the beautiful handquilting you do for me. What a gift you have. You turned my quilts into heirloom pieces. You're the greatest!" June N. - Howell, MI "Dearest Ruby and Mary, My daughter and I had my mother's stars here, and had no idea what to do with them. I called you and you said to just send them and you would take care of the rest. To our surprise, you called and said the quilt was finished. We received the quilt a few days ago and I am in awe of your work! Ruby, I wish Mom were alive to see what has become of those stars that she had sewn. I am speechless. I can not thank you enough for everything. I am taking a picture of it and will mail it to you. We are also sending you a box of Texas grapefruits as a small thank you for all that you have done. We live across the road from the grapefruit grove and thought you might enjoy some fresh fruit. You and Mary take care and will talk soon. Your friends from Texas, Lois and Barbara, Texas

"Ruby, Just a note to tell you how much I appreciate all you and Mary do. You have not only hand quilted many tops for me but have also created and made two custom quilts for my husband and myself. One was for our cabin up north and the other for our home in Hastings. Ruby you and Mary are amazing! Thanks so much again," Sherry and Bruce A. - Hastings, MN "Dear Ruby, You gals have helped me finish MANY of my quilt tops over the years. I have never been disappointed. I know that I can just mail them to you and you will hand-quilt each quilt with a design that will compliment the quilt. Take care, my dear friend, and I am sending more quilt tops your way. Talk to you soon," Polly M. - Ukiah, CA "Ruby, over all of these many years you and your ladies have handquilted many of my tops. In all of the years, I am always pleasantly surprised by your gift of design and talent in hand quilting. Most of the gals in my quilting bee have used your service and we are always so excited to present our finished quilt to the group. Your attention to detail is appreciated. Thank you my friend," Edna S. - Fairfax,Virginia "Dear Ruby, I just want to thank you for the beautiful hand quilting that you had done on my basket quilt. The stitching on the quilt really finished it off so nice. You have hand quilted many of my quilts and I have many more that need to be hand quilted. Thanks for being there for me no matter whether it's an unfinished project or a top that needs to be hand-quilted. You have always been there to take care of it. You take care and thanks for supporting my quilting needs. Your friend," Karen S. - Fairfax, VA
