About OQSO
OQSO HISTORY
Beginning in 1985, organizational meetings were held in Oklahoma City, Ponca City, and Claremore to establish a guild for quilters across the state of Oklahoma. On March 18, 1986, the first general meeting of the now Oklahoma Quilters' State Organization was held in Oklahoma City. One hundred twenty-five attended and over fifty quilts were displayed.
Everyone is welcome, you do not have to live in OK to attend.
