Quilts make trips easier for students School for the Blind lets kids ‘check out’ quilts By Cathy SpauldingPhoenix Staff Writer Park Hill Club President Bonnie Smith said the club helps the school “because OSB is usually not a group that someone living in the county does anything for.”
Smith said club members had heard that OSB students would take their own bedding for the bus trips. Garner, who lives in Tahlequah, said about 23 club members have worked on the quilt project, which took about six months. Most of the quilts are handmade by piecing together squares and sewing them to a backing. Yarn tassels pop out between some of the multi-colored squares. Garner said she sewed on some of the quilts. “I did a lot of purple pieces,” she said. One woman, who does not even belong to the OHCE club, stitched patterns into the quilt she made for the school. Club members also donated personal items such as boy’s and girl’s socks, panties, T-shirts, boxers, briefs, slips and other personal clothing items. The Oklahoma Home and Community Education clubs used to be known as Home Demonstration of Extension Homemaker groups. Reach Cathy Spaulding at 918-684-2928 or Click Here to Send Email
