Intuitive Quilt Stories
August 21-28, 2027
Jurançon, Pau, SW France/ Makers Retreat
A great story begins with well-defined, diverse characters! Tap into meaningful authentic narratives waiting to be told, through a heart centered, improvisational approach to abstract piecing. Learn composition strategies for integrating your diverse characters into a cohesive, engaging quilt story, rich in conversation, and aligned with your truth.
We Get Your Improv Quilts!
The Brave Patch School encourages a heart centered approach to improv quilting, and recognizes it’s restorative value as a creative life practice.
In the Brave Patch GROOVE we get your improv quilts and value the unique vision and voice that you bring. We welcome you into this space as both mentee and mentor. Continue the learning with a membership to the Brave Patch Groove where you’ll find connection and inspiration with other improvisors.
