Ruby McKim’s Story & Quilts on Granddaughter’s Web Site

        Ruby McKim wrote the classic quilt pattern book, 101 Patchwork Patterns, many years ago.  She became well-known in the quilting world before she died.

Now her granddaughter, Merrily McKim Tuohey,  with the encouragment of Ruby’s family, has set up a web site,  McKim Studios , with stories of her life, quilts, patterns, and other treasures.

At WomenFolk.com, you’ll also find more information about Ruby McKim and her life.  It was through this site that I was led to the McKim Studios.

If you have Ruby’s famous book in your collection, have used any of her patterns, or looked to her work for reference, you’ll find both of these sites about her fascinating.

       And here is another of Ruby McKim’s quilt books.
