Oklahoma Quilters-wanna chat?
#96
Hi, I am in Marietta, Oklahoma and have been quilting hit and miss for years. We just moved into a larger home and I am finally gonna get my own sewing room once everything gets unpacked and put away. I am a fabricaholic big time!!! I found out the local quilt guild meets tonight at the local library, thinking abut wondering by and seeing what its like. I take care of my in laws 24/7. Mother in law has alzheimers and father in law is terminally ill, so quilting is my theraphy, my me time. Can't wait till my room is ready and I can get back to it!!!

Glad to have you on the forum. Welcome from Skiatook, OK. If you do get the chance to drop by the guild, you will have a great time and have some fun to boot. I belong to 3 guilds, two of which I attend, the other one, ever once in a while. You meet some amazing quilters that love to share with others.
Again, welcome from a fellow fabricaholic and Okie.

It's wonderful to see so may Okies on the board. My OHCE group (we used to be called home demonstration club) is having a quilt exhibit and craft show in Chicasha on Nov. 19th and 20th. Quilts are for exhibit only and are not judged. Each quilt will have it's own personal story or history attached to it. We will also have over 100 booth spaces of crafters, most with handmade items, and some quilt vendor booths. If you'd like to exhibit a quilt, or are interested in renting a booth space, or would like more info on attending the event, send me a pm. Thnks, Kathy

Thanks. This is our 5th year for the quilt exhibit and it grows every year. Last year there were 165 quilts on display. The stories on them are fascinating. Some were started for a baby who died at birth, and the mom didn't have the heart to finish it until her 1st grandchild was born, some were passed down thru several generations, and some are brand new and were made in a class. The stories vary. I'm the chairperson of the craft show/ quilt exhibit, so I never have time to read all the stories. We let the public vote for their favorite quilt. We will also have a special display of Christmas quilts this year. Can you tell I'm a little proud of our show? LOL
