Beverly Huggins Kirk
Beverly Huggins Kirk is a native Oklahoman born in Chickasha, Oklahoma who sewed clothing for herself during high school, but the joys and hefty business of marriage, motherhood, working, church, and life care took priority status for Beverly. In 1975, she received a B.S. degree from historic Langston University, Langston OK and later earned her M.Ed. degree from the UCO, Edmond, OK.
Following a grief loss in 1997, healing and comfort were found in the structured yet intricate stitchin’ and quiltin’ with colorful and textured fabric. As an avid reader, Beverly speaks to local and regional groups focusing on the history of African American quilting styles and techniques.
Retirement in 2016 allowed her to inspire a community of local quilters as a classroom Teaching Artist at the Northeast Health & Wellness Center/OKC. Her artistic enthusiasm and quilts have been exhibited around the US and abroad. Broaden leadership abilities were established with the founding of Scissor Tales Quilt Guild (STQG) Oklahoma City in 2023 and as the founder/president of Oklahoma Community Quilters Network (OKCQN) in Oklahoma City. BQuiltin’ Studio (website and blog) was established in 2011 and Beverly currently serves as SAQA Regional Representative of Kansas, Missouri, & Oklahoma.
