Who, Why and When is NATIONAL QUILTING DAY?
Quilted by: J. brown (STQG Member)
Who: The National Quilting Association started National Quilting Day in 1991 and since then it has grown into a global celebration for all quilt lovers and makers.
Why: National Quilting Day recognizes quiltmakers and their quilt-making abilities.
When: Quilting is celebrated on the third Saturday in March every year.
My enjoyment of crafting, creating and ‘Quiltin’ pushes me to care of my health, care for my flower garden, to read, to love deeply my family and friends.
Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates.(Proverbs 31:31)
I took up my daddy’s silk ties after his passing in 1997 and I cried and tried to make a full-size compass block quilt far beyond my know how. Thus, I created my first quilted pillow set made with his silk ties! Although I loved basic Home Economics in High School, courting, working, marrying and three kids took first place in my young years! When I needed to heal my heart, I found that I could take the bits of brokenness (pieces of fabric) and with forethought, solitude and precision — I could create a thing of beauty! Over the years, I experienced more life-advancing events. I’ve aged gracefully and I’ve added a good many quilts to my life story. I am so proud of the ways in which I have bee able to sort through and express my social and political views into statements into my quilted art.
At this my Sister’s absence from this good earth —- I don’t contemplate why or what…. Just that I do!
I quilt
I quilt furiously
I quilt daily
I plant-God re-seeds my front and backyard each year….
I’m hurt
I’m at peace
I’m piecing my latter years
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m well
I love quilting, fabric and my backyard haven! I have been quilting for more than 20 years and it’s been a blast!
I have plan to author two books-by C&T publishing. I live in Oklahoma City where the weather is seldom perfect…. Always changing 👏.

Your sneaky little look at a few of over 70 quilts… the Crown Jewels of the Scissor Tales Quilt Guild.
An art exhibit at Oklahoma City University will feature -- in the words of a communications staff press release -- the work of five local "artists of color" working in diverse media including quilts, weavings, embroidery and rhinestone mosaics on exhibit from Oct. 30 to Dec. 15.
An opening reception is set for 5-7 p.m. Nov. 2 and an artists’ talk from 5:30-7:30 p.m. on November 16 in OCU’s Norick Art Center.
“High Craft” is curated by Inclusion In Art, a nonprofit organization promoting racial and cultural diversity in Oklahoma’s visual arts community.
“High Craft” refers to works done where the imagination and the hand of the maker are evident, and it seeks to represent the global diversity of craft through artists Maria Anderson, Beverly Kirk, Lawrence Naff, Ann Solinski and Amy Young.
