Mission Norman Dessert Fund-Raiser in Norman, OK

I ate 4 pieces of chocolate fudge cake as my reward after sweating through a 10 minute speech before 250 people and selling $4400 of antique and touring art quilts and books. 100% went to feed needy people physically and spiritually and to expand their food pantry, medical facilities and temporary housing. It was a festive event with each women's church group decorating a table with beautiful china, tea pots, tableclothes and flowers.

Peppers Ranch Fund-Raiser for Orphans

Fund-raiser for Peppers Ranch orphanage at the Guthrie County Fairgrounds was a blast. Exhibited 100 Food for Body & Soul Quilts and autographed books with 100% feeding the orphans. Here's photo of the bright adorable members of the clan legally adopted by the house parents. They're doing a great job turning abused kids into bright students and productive citizens. Two are going to college.

Feasting on Pioneer Food

April 4th I feasted with the Nichols Hill Garden Club on fried tomatoes, corn fritters, gingerbread tea cakes, potato soup and lettuce sandwiches from my "1905 Cookbook." Yummy!! All fresh from the garden and cooked green like the pioneers.

The hostesses wore vintage aprons and tables were set with grandma's sterling, hobnail glasses and delicate china plates.

I shared stories from the 1905 Cookbook and exhibited 30 Food for Body & Soul Touring Quilts in the living room of this beautiful old home furnished in antiques, majolica and quilts.

Rush Springs Quilt Program & Show a Hit

Rush Springs, OK welcomed me with open arms. The whole town showed up to help me set up the 60 touring food and patriotic quilts and Civil War quilts for the Civil War Trunk Show Program.

The Friends of the Library sponsored this fun event at the Lions Club Building with refreshments and even gave me the signed guest book with a handmade quilted jacket with a humorous cake recipe and antique photos on inside cover. I think everyone in town bought a "1905 Cookbook" and the Centennial Stitches and Heavenly Patchwork books to benefit the library and local Food Bank.

Thanks guys for a fun time and your great help!! Never met a friendlier group of folks.

Whig's Defeat pictured is my latest addition to the Civil War Trunk Show. The pattern is traced back to 1844 when John Polk of the Democratic party beat out Henry Clay of the Whig party for the president. This quilt was found in Josephine Palmer-Wylie's Oklahoma City estate. The family came from KY in 1889 in the Land Run to homestead a farm in Okemah and became leaders of Okfuskee County along with Woody Guthrie.

Genealogists Rock

Never had so much fun at Cedar Schoolhouse in Weatherford with the genealogists. They loved the Civil War Quilts & stories I brought. The signature 1929 fund-raiser quilt from Independence, OK Hi School contained some of their relatives names they'd been researching.

They personally knew some of the Chenoweth clan who homesteaded near-by, of which famous singer/actress Kristen Chenoweth is included. Here's a replica of the famous Chenoweth Civil War Eagle quilt worth $8-12,000 that's on the cover of Oklahoma Heritage Quilts.

Signed a book or two for everyone attending with 100% of sales going to Weatherford's local Historical/Genealogy Museum and their local food bank.
