DESCRIPTION:Ruby Nishio grew up in Los Angeles and was interned at Heart Mo
 untain relocation camp during WWII.  After returning to Los Angeles she be
 gan working at Cahill in Beverly Hills\, sewing and designing wedding gown
 s.  She was very talented and adept at doing patterns and creating wonderf
 ul gowns and custom clothing.  For the past 18 years she has used her tale
 nts in creating beautiful quilts.  Ruby Nishio is an amazing quilt artist 
 and has won many awards for her work.  This is her first one person show.\
 n\nNishio has been sewing for over 70 years.  She has done all types of ha
 ndwork\, from custom dressmaking\, knitting\, tatting\, crocheting and emb
 roidery.  In 1992\, she transitioned into making quilts. The imagery she u
 ses is taken from her personal interests. She loves gardening and many of 
 the patterns she uses are of flowers and nature.  She stitches fabric piec
 es together to form repetitive patterns that are then hand quilted.  One q
 uilt in the exhibition\, &lsquo\;Trip Around the World&rsquo\;\, 1998\, in
 cludes 2193 two-inch squares of flowered fabrics where the stitched edges 
 of each piece lose their sharpness and blend with the pieces next to each 
 other forming an impressionist patterned garden.  In &lsquo\;New York\, Ne
 w York&rsquo\;\, 2005\, echoes of the Statue of Liberty are depicted in th
 e patterns\, while the colors and fabrics are reminiscent of&nbsp\;  Broad
 way by way of the Ginza.  Expressing her love of gardening and traveling\,
  she has created wonderful pieces that are truly works of art.
