One Block Wonder w/ Jackie O’Brien

With Jackie O'Brien

March 25 - 29, 2026

With Jackie O’Brien of If These Threads Could Talk

Ready to turn fabric into a work of art? Join us for a retreat designed for quilters and sewists who want to experience the magic of One Block Wonder quilting! Under the guidance of Jackie O’Brien, you’ll learn how to transform ordinary panels and fabric into mesmerizing kaleidoscopes—and piece them into stunning, show-stopping quilts.

🧵 What You’ll Learn:

  • How to align and cut fabric for kaleidoscope effects

  • Confidently piece hexagons and create hollow cubes

  • Integrate panels into your layout for added interest

  • Master color placement and design flow

  • Create dramatic borders that “blow out” the design for an unforgettable finish

This workshop is perfect for adventurous beginners and seasoned quilters alike—no art background required! You’ll need basic machine sewing skills, a sewing machine, and a willingness to experiment with color and shape.

🔹 Bring your creativity.
🔹 Bring seven panels and coordinating fabric.
🔹 Leave with a quilt-in-progress that turns heads.

Additional supplies will be available from Pieced Perfection if needed.
