Social sewing

Social sewing is something that I haven't done much of in the past couple of years.  So I jumped at the opportunity to do the One Block Wonder class last weekend.  It was an awesome class and I got a lot done on my second OBW project.

Disclaimer - I borrowed stole these photos from Brenda at The Pin Cushion.  The shop hosted this class in a local hotel conference room where we had lots of space to cut, press, sew and socialize all day long.

I'm on the left end of this first photo with my Halloween panel.  I cut my strips a bit wider than the book called for because my print was such a large scale.  It turned out to be a good decision. 

Everyone had such beautiful fabrics and the blocks were really gorgeous!  But I must admit one of my favorites was the blue butterfly panel that Alvina was using. The butterfly wing details were making exquisite OBW triangles.  

Our instructors were also sewing with us.  Deb (far left) was working on a fall themed OBW, and Karen (far right) was adding edge pieces to a very striking multi-color OBW.  These ladies led us through the process and had lots of great tips.  

Thank you to Deb and Karen for leading a fun class, and to Brenda at The Pin Cushion for hosting.  The day was a great way to renew the mojo!
