Shirley Ruhle
Contributed by Lyn Gleeson
SHIRLEY was born to create crafts. She has been creating a wide range of knitted, sewn, and quilted items since she was a child.
She and other craft ladies formed Down Under Craft over 21 years ago so they had somewhere to meet, exchange ideas and create. From just a friendship meeting, the Group grew and then opened the Craft Shop at the Landsborough Hall.
Her interest in craft has been lifelong love affair. She has always made clothes for her family and friends and for many years was she was the “Go to person” for wedding gowns, formal outfits and many other creations. She studies Pinterest with great interest and is quite happy to create new craft creations included on the site.
She still loves her sewing and creating. Shirley ha, over many years, passed on her technical skills to others. She has knitted, quilted, sown, drafted patterns and crochet her way through life and is always learning new skills.
She enjoys Down Under Craft for the interaction and fellowship of other likeminded women.
Get well to Shirley, from all at Down Under Craft members, hoping we see you back at Craft very soon.
