Annelize Keeve donated dog beds by OQG members to the local SPCA who were extremely glad to receive it. Quilters put all their scrap pieces in a pillowcase and when full, stitch it close turning it into a comfortable, soft bed.
A blog mainly for our members to keep them updated on new events, important dates and ongoing or future projects and plans.

Last General Meeting of 2023
The last General Meeting for 2023 of the Oranje Quilters Guild was held on the 28th of October and in allegiance to the Springbok's who were to play the All Blacks in the final later that evening for the Webb Ellis Trophy, the decor was done in our national colors, the Green and Gold.
The meeting was opened by Irene Reynhardt of the Uile group who hosted the meeting.
The bears were accepted by Juliana Hamlett of the hospital who explained that the bears would be handed out to patients in hospital on Christmas Day as well as the staff working on that day.
Alaé Grabe of Quilt in Clarens kicked of the demonstrations by demonstrating a very nifty technique showing all present how to achieve perfect round edges using vilene.
Sujanie van der Spoel explained the needle turning technique with detailed instructions on how to create perfect points.
There were beautiful quilts on display made by members of the OQG.
