The Quilt Art Of Nadine Ruggles: Meet The Artist

Meet Nadine

Nadine Ruggles has been sewing and crafting since childhood, and was caught by the quilting bug in 1990. She wanted to make "just one (large) quilt" for the bed, and, of course, couldn't stop quilting after that. Being mostly self-taught, Nadine sees each new quilt as a challenge, and she applies her special talents for fabric selection, precision piecing, elegant quilting and unexpected embellishments to traditional blocks to create innovative quilt art pieces.

She enjoys choosing fabrics, finding the perfect fabric for a certain block or pattern, and putting different colors and fabrics together to create new effects. Her work is a collection of many styles, some quilts are decidedly traditional, while others are more innovative or in the art quilt genre. Quilts and projects with many different fabrics are the most interesting and challenging to her.

Nadine lives in Gerlingen, Germany, where she teaches classes and workshops in machine quilting, embellishment, and color and fabric selection, and provides Pfaff sewing machine training classes. Her quilts have been exhibited across the United States in quilt shows, galleries and museums, and her work has been published in books by the American Quilter's Society.
