Create a showstopping quilt or wearable jacket from seven panels in this immersive, hands-on retreat experience.

Join Terri Butler (Mama Said Sew, LLC) and Jackie O’Brien (If These Threads Could Talk) for a one-of-a-kind workshop where you’ll learn how to transform fabric panels into your choice of a stunning One-Block Wonder quilt top or quilted jacket. With two expert instructors guiding you, you’ll receive personalized support in layout, construction, and finishing techniques every step of the way.
