5.0 out of 5 stars Centennial Stitches and Oklahoma's centennial, May 22, 2007

This review is from: Centennial Stitches: Oklahoma History in Quilts (Hardcover)

This book has a collection of color photos of quilts connected with Oklahoma and its history. Some of the quilts presented in this book are as old or older as Oklahoma and some have connections with Oklahoma historical personages. Some of the quilts provide history lessons of the state or of families from Oklahoma. Some of the quilts have stories about the quilts and the makers with the quilt. Some have photos of the creators of them.

There are three parts to this book: Part one is entitled, Oklahoma history stitched in quilts. Part two is of the McCloy's Masterpiece collection which is very colorful. Part three is the Oklahoma centennial quilt contest winners. Winners are of various ages.

There are scripture quotes at the end of each entry description.

There is a table of contents at the front of the book.

The book is very colorful and a great keepsake for the Oklahoma centennial. Oklahomans interested in quilts, Oklahoma history will want to get this book. Quilt lovers too will want this book.

I purchased this book in memory of my deceased Grandmother who was a quilter. She would have loved the book.

I love this book. It is so much more than I ever expected. The stories about actual families during their lives getting to and living in Oklahoma are so enjoyable. What a wonderful job Judy Howard has done combining the love of quilts and Oklahoma history. This is the best Oklahoma centennial book I've seen. Thanks Judy!
