Meeker Quilter’s Guild camp

The Meeker Quilters’ Guild sponsored its 13th annual Summer Quilt Camp in July.

This year, the camp honored Etta Busler who was a charter member of the Meeker Quilt Guild and a faithful helper with the camp.

Mammoth Baptist Church hosted the 3-day event which was attended by 11 participants.

The goals of the quilt camp were to teach basic sewing and quilting skills, safe use of sewing equipment and machines, teamwork, patience , having fun while learning the art of quilting and to complete a hand-tied lap quilt at the end of the camp.

Workshop adult leaders included; Karen Ingle, Marlene Young, Debbie Price; Cindy Waters, Denise Anderson, Roberta Deffenbaugh, Janice High, Deigh Taylor, Betty Mayfield, Glenna Lane and Francie Russell.

In the 13 years the Meeker Quilters’ Guild has sponsored the Summer Quilt Camp, 64 individual participants have completed quilts. Of the 64, many of them have attended the quilt camp numerous times for a total of 151 enrollments/quilts.

The Meeker Quilters’ Guild is thankful and appreciative of the community support and Mammoth Baptist Church for helping to keep the art of quilting alive and exciting for a young generation of Oklahomans.
