Seneca, SC is in such a beautiful area, including a couple of lakes. We are kayakers, so heading up here a day early and hitting Lake Jocassee seemed the only sensible thing to do.
On the way to the lake, we passed this great quilt block--a pair of them, actually. I am not sure which I enjoyed more--seeing this quilt or hearing my sweetheart ask, "Isn't that a Crazy Quilt?" He also correctly idenitified Grandmother's Flower Garden a bit farther down the road.
Martha had posted a photo of this quilt block on my Facebook page; knowing that we would see it at the lake added to the anticipation.
as if the wonderful painting and almost impossibly blue sky weren't enough, just a few steps past the quilt square, this spectacular view is revealed.
The lake was far more beautiful than I imagined. Unfortunately, the 35 mph winds that were forecast materialized, and well--whitecaps on a lake aren't my cup of tea. We have plans to return, though, and will bring some kayaking friends!
I cannot believe that I live "in the neighborhood" and didn't know about these two blocks....I've wanted to start this in Pickens (the next county over from Oconee)but I think it will have to wait till I retire. LOL It's been a while since we visited Devils Fork Park, I guess we need to stop in!
ReplyDeleteThe Upstate Heritage Quilt Trail does include Pickens County!

But yes, you do need to head out to the lake!
