September Sew Fresh Meeting: Origami Pinwheels!!

Can you believe it's almost September?? And almost time for our next Sew Fresh meeting! (If you haven't signed up yet, you can do so here!) The next meeting, Thursday, September 8th, we'll be having one of our Sew Fresh members, Candace teaching a tutorial on Origami Pinwheels!



This will be a hands-on tutorial. And though, we won't be able to sew the seams, you will leave with the confidence to get through the hard part of the block which is the folding! The live-tutorial will feature how to make the Florida Quilt version (seen above). To do this you will need the following materials:

*straight pins
*at least 4-6" squares (this will be your back ground fabric)
*at least 4-5" squares (this will be your pinwheel fabric) -- Prior to arriving, please iron these squares using starch. It will make the folds easier but it is not a requirement :)

And that's it!

She'll also be bringing some finished samples along with a few 'works in progress' so there will be plenty of inspiration! We're so very excited to hear all she has to share so don't miss the fun of Origami Pinwheels next meeting!!!
