Guest Artist

Our 2026 Quilt Show chair, Marcy Traeger, has selected Robin Ruth Long of Robin Ruth Designs to be our Featured Guest Artist. Robin has been a program presenter for our quilt in the past (2019), so members should be very familiar with her. She speaks and teaches all across the United States.

What started as a quest to make a Mariner’s Compass quilt for her submarine officer husband, Robin Long took an idea she had in 1992 and launched Robin Ruth Design in January 2015. She has developed a new line of revolutionary rulers, books, patterns and techniques for making STRIP-PIECED mariner’s compass blocks in 16 sizes – that’s right, NO PAPER PIECING!
