Unity is the word most on my mind these days. A coming together as friends, fam-ily, and I’ll spit it out — all of humanity,

is needed now. We Americans arenotalone.Allnationsaresuffering.Isawacartoonabout2020 and it showed a glass with amid-sizedpour.Question?

Halfempty,halffull,orisitpee?Howbadcanitget?COVID-19,

fires,protestsandcounterprotests,andourcountry more divided than ever in this, our presidentialelectionyear.

I think I’ll go sew! Christmas stockings for chil-dren in need, quilts for families who have lost everythinginourrecentfiresencompassing

so much of our western states, quilts for fos-ter children, quilts for vets. Be kind and speak with words lovingly. We can help. Seemingly small things done for others really does make adifferenceinsomeone’slife.

Our guild will be coming together again in October. Mark your calendars for October 13 to wear a crazy hat and meet in the church lot 10-11 a.m. to turn in/pickup Block Party, Philanthropyquilts,opportunitytickets,Bingocards and more. Be ready for the evening’s Game night!

Unity displayed as we come together as best we can, wearing our face masks and physically distanced. It will help heal my soul.

OCQG BLOCK OF THE MONTH— OCTOBER 2020

Build a “boo-ti-ful” bookcase with these creepy creatures! 12 ½” unfinished Blocks

COLORS: black backgrounds, silver or gray lids, fussy cut Halloween fabrics for jar contents BLOCKS: (There are two choices, so make some of each.) For largest jar: 1: Cut one 8 ½ square of Halloween fabric 2: Cut one 5 ½ X 1 ½ of silver or gray for lid 3: From black cut four 2” squares for snowballing (E) Cut two 1 1/2” x 2” D pieces to attach to lid sides Cut one 1 ½” x 8 ½” C for bottom border Cut one 2 ½” x 8 ½” B for top border Cut two 2 ½” x 12 ½” A for side borders 4. Snowball * 2” black squares to each corner of Halloween square 5. Sew D rectangles to each side of gray G lid; press; stitch to top of jar 6. Add top black piece and bottom (B & C). Add side borders (A). Press. *Snowball means to lay your 2” black square right sides together on the corner of the Halloween fabric. Stitch from one corner to the other. Press to the back. Flipping the material over, check that your edges are squared up to the base (Halloween) fabric, trimming if necessary. When satisfied cut off the bottom two layers—base fabric and middle black. Press again. You now have a single layer snowball making a nice sharp corner on your jar. Do all four corners. For smaller two jar block: 1: Cut jar centers from two different Halloween fabrics, one 6 ½ (width) x 8 ½ (height) and smallest jar 6 ½ (width) x 5 ½ (height) 2: Cut two pieces from silver or gray lid 1 ½” x 3 ½’ 3. From black, cut eight 2 x 2” squares for snowballing Cut four pieces 1 ½” x 2” C to attach to sides of each lid Cut one piece 6 ½” x 2 ½” for A top, one piece 6 ½” x 5 ½” for B top Cut one long 1 ½” x 12 ½” for bottom border F

Contact Cheri Hansen at [email protected] or 714-528-1836. If you come to guild with a quilt top made from these scary blocks, even if you were not a block party winner, you will get a prize. Play to have fun!

OCQG BLOCK OF THE MONTH NOVEMBER 2020 “LEAF PEEPERS” 16 ½” Unfinished Block COLORS: Olive, Raspberry, Gold, Pumpkin with black background and gray sashing This may look like a complicated block, but it goes together lickety-split when we use the technique for making eight half-square triangles at once! Sew two seams, cut four times and “Voila!”, you have the leaf points for two leaves. (demonstration available at Block Party table) Cutting directions for one 16 ½” four leaf block: From black background cut four 7” squares, four 3” squares (A) corner, eight 2 ½” squares (D), one 1 ½” square (F) From gray sashing cut four 8” x 1 ½” strips (C) From each of four different leaf fabrics cut one 7” square, four 3” squares (A) leaf fabric To make eight half-square triangles in a wink: Draw two diagonal lines corner to corner on the back of a leaf 7” square. Place this fabric, right sides together, with a black 7” square. Stitch ¼” on each side of the two drawn lines for two seams. Cut on both drawn lines. You will have four large triangles. Line up these four triangles up on your cutting mat and cut in half through the top point. You will now have eight half-square triangles (B/B) of one leaf color to press and size to 3”.*** To make the pieced stem: Draw one line corner to corner on back of two of the black 2 ½” squares. Lay this square on the corner of a 3” square of leaf fabric, right sides together Sew exactly on the line (not beside, but on) Pressing that triangle aside, repeat with the other 2 ½” square on the opposite corner. Open up to right side, ironing the black triangles back to reveal your colorful stem. Check to make sure your edges match your base fabric (leaf), trimming if necessary. Cut the extra layer of leaf and middle black away.

Page 11: Drive By Again!orangecountyquiltersguild.com/media/upload/newsletter/... · 1 day ago · with words lovingly. We can help. Seemingly small things done for others really does make

Following the diagram at top of page, lay out your leaf pieces and stitch them together, pressing gently. Last add your sashing pieces as shown, using the 1 ½” black square in the center. Gently press your 16 ½” unfinished four leaf block. ***This technique makes eight half-square triangles of one leaf color, which sets you up for a second leaf of the same color. If, instead, you want to make four half-square triangles from two different leaf colors, you cut two different leaf rectangles 3 1/2” x 7” and lay them side by side, matching center edges, face down, right sides together on one black 7” square. Pin. Carefully draw your two diagonal lines; stitch ¼ inch on each side of the two drawn lines. Cut on both drawn lines. You will have four large triangles. Line up these four triangles on your cutting mat and cut in half through the top point. You will now have four half-square triangles (B/B) of two leaf colors. Press and trim to 3”. You will have your leaf points for two different colored leaves. Come to the Block Party table to see the simple demonstration. Put your name in the drawing Once for each 16 ½” block turned in (maximum of 5) Questions? Contact Cheri Hansen at [email protected] or 714-528-1836. If you come to guild with a quilt top made from these beautiful autumn leaves, even if you are not a block party winner, you will take home a prize. Play to have fun with fabric! “Leaf peepers” is the affectionate term applied to people who travel to New England to enjoy the autumn leaves.
