On Sunday, July 15 at 2:00 pm, at City Hall, 106 North 12th, the Collinsville Library proudly presents Native Bartlesvillian Judy Howard’s Oklahoma Pioneer Cookbook Program. It includes vintage kitchen textiles and History of Aprons, 300 amusing yet useable and tantalizing recipes from 1905 with a glimpse into the lives of those courageous pioneer women who left family, friends and the comforts of first homes to homestead a hostile and barren landscape. Also showing at the Library is Smithsonian’s “America by Food” Exhibit.



Judy will display 100 of the Food for Body and Soul Touring Quilts, vintage kitchen textiles and sign her five charity quilt books, including her newly released Oklahoma Pioneer 1905 Cookbook—Food for Body and Soul. These 22” quilts are crisscrossing the U.S. for four years with all sales from the Cookbooks, 22” quilts and 150 antique quilts on www.BuckboardAntiqueQuilts.com going to Dividing Bread in Collinsville on Sunday. For a sneak preview of the quilts and stories, see www.HeavenlyPatchwork.com.



Judy invites all children and adults to enter their 22” food related quilts to receive a free 1905 Cookbook with each entry and chance to win $2500 in prizes and 33 big rosette ribbons. Bring your friends and family Sunday, July 15th at 2:00 pm and let’s celebrate Oklahoma pioneer cooking and quilts.
