Potholder Quilt workshop

On Saturday, September 30, at 10 a.m., Hunter’s Home will hold a potholder quilt workshop to teach visitors about the origins of the craft. Participants will make a single square of a potholder quilt to take home. Potholder quilts were popular in the 19th century. They are made with each quilt block individually bound, and the individual pieces are stitched together to form a quilt.

You don’t need to make any reservations, but regular admission fees apply. For more information, call 918-456-2751. Hunter’s Home is at 19479 E. Murrell Home Rd. in Park Hill. It is Oklahoma’s only remaining pre-Civil War plantation home. Visit www.okhistory.org/huntershome to view admission prices.
