Brandon Andres Green with Ann Olson of Green Country Quilters Guild and Hearts and Hands.

A handmade quilt can carry comfort in a way few things can. In this episode, Ann shares how a local quilting guild turns fabric, time, and volunteer hands into real help for people across Tulsa. Hearts and Hands is the community service part of Green Country Quilters Guild, creating quilts for families, children, new parents, cancer patients, Habitat for Humanity Tulsa, Youth Services, Emergency Infant Services, Family & Children’s Services, and others who could use something warm and personal during a hard season.

Ann talks about learning to sew at age five, growing up around quilting, and eventually becoming chair of Hearts and Hands. She explains how the process works behind the scenes: some people piece quilt tops, some bind edges, some cut fabric, some square blocks, and longarm quilters stitch everything together.

We also talk about why quilting is not a dying art, how Green Country Quilters Guild has grown into a large and active community, and how Hearts and Hands has already made hundreds of quilts this year.

For anyone in Tulsa looking for a quilting guild, a meaningful volunteer project, or a place to donate fabric and sewing supplies, this is a simple look at how ordinary materials can become something useful, personal, and deeply appreciated.
