Donna Rhea learned to quilt from her mother and grandmother. She has worked for OSU as a senior secretary in the Department of Agricultural Economics for 12 years. She started quilting in 1982. Today, she is sought out by customers and friends to do hand and machine quilting. In addition, Donna teaches quilting and general sewing skills to young people of her church. She is the eldest of eight children and the mother of two.

Centennial Stitches: Oklahoma History in Quilts is a coffee table gift book containing the 80 centennial quilt photos and stories, along with 56 stories of other Oklahoma historic quilts and 32 pages of a sampling of 1800s cherished legacy quilt photos that would have traveled into Oklahoma in covered wagons before statehood.
