Orangeburg Quilters Guild


At our Orangeburg Quilters guild about every 3 months we all make a block and then draw for it.  Everyone has to win before your name can go back in the pot.  This is the latest block.  The block is 12 inch finished.  We laid out the ones turned in so far (not due until Oct., mine is finished).  They look great.  I am not eligible, so I may just have to make this one for myself.  I love the 3D effect.

Didnt get to sew this afternoon.  Thunderstorms!  Then was cooking supper, just started, and the power went off.  So...... we had to go out to eat.  Stuffed the food in the fridge.  On the way out we found out what knocked the power out this time.  A car hit a main power pole.  I am sure there was more than one car involved.  And I am sure there were injuries, if not fatalities.  Most of that was gone, just the power company and a patrolman to help with the traffic.  There was a smashed car in the ditch.  I did say a quick prayer for whoever.  And I felt bad about fussing about the power company, again.  It wasnt their fault this time.  This is the 3rd power outage in about 3 weeks.

So, hopefully I will get some quilting done tomorrow.

Happy Quitling, Vicki

Guild Party







Here are pictures of our quilt guild Christmas blocks. Everyone makes one and we draw names for it. Barbara S. won this year. There is also a picture of my block. The white was supposed to be the background. I goofed. LOL. We decided that since there were 17 blocks, mine could be on the back as the label. No, I really did offer to remake it with the correct colors.
This next group are our President's blocks. Our president serves 2 years and we make blocks for her at the end of her term. Heather requested star blocks and provided the background. I got this on right. Mine is the 2nd row from the left and the 2nd block. A star in a star. Kind of hard to see it. They were all beautiful.
