100 Quilts Donated by Sassy Scrubs Employee

Ruth Ann Chabot, of Canandaigua, who is an employee at Penn Yan’s Sassy Scrubs, received an award from the Company for her donation of over 100 hand-made baby quilts she has made since May. She has donated her quilts to the Blankets for Babies Project, which makes, collects and ships baby blankets and quilts, through Sassy Scrubs, to orphanages in China.

Before beginning her quilt making marathon, Ruth Ann had attempted only one other quilt, years ago, and was not fond of the experience. Using fabric scraps available through her work at Sassy Scrubs, a custom scrubs uniform manufacturer, and a significant fabric stash at home, she tried quilt making again and found she greatly enjoyed designing the quilts and seeing them come together. With so much experience since May, she has found she can now look at a photo of an intricate quilt and cut and sew it without a pattern.

She has begun photographing each quilt she donates, and constructing an album, so she can remember the prints and designs of each after they have been shipped to keep babies warm.

In appreciation of her dedication to the orphans of China, Sassy Scrubs awarded Ruth Ann with a plaque declaring her the “Quilting Queen” along with a gift certificate to Jo-Ann Fabrics.
