Vintage Threads and Loops

Welcome to Vintage Threads and Loops!

Hello! My name is Tammy Ruiz and I’m a fourth-generation crafter located in Western NY.

When in my happy place, there is always some type of fiber and a needle or hook in my hand. Through the years, I've found that my preference tends to be “unplugged” with my go-to’s being mostly all hand work such as hand quilting, punch needle, rug hooking, rug braiding, repro antique samplers and wool applique.

Having a vintage style, collecting antique items and attaching a stitched piece to them is also a fun hobby of mine. Whether it be through creating, collecting or decorating, may you also receive as much joy preserving our fiber history!
