BRAVEPATCH

Learn. Play. Quilt. with Sherri Lynn Wood

The Groove is our improv mentoring community and you are currently invited to use the GROOVE IMMERSION PASS for a chance to enter in. All the way in. 

Because alignment in your creative practice doesn’t happen all at once—
it unfolds when you stay engaged, connected, and curious.

Join the Groove with the new Immersion Pass. 
Not a drop-in. An immersion. 🧵

You don’t really develop a creative practice—or understand a creative community—by visiting once.

You feel it by being in it.
By showing up.
By staying long enough for something to shift.

That’s what the Groove Immersion Pass is for.

Three months inside Brave Patch Groove to explore your improv quilting practice in motion—with guidance, reflection, and community alongside you.

Inspiring. Meaningful. Transformative.

History shows that creative people need a place to gather and exchange ideas, knowledge and the love for their craft. 

The Brave Patch School is a creative home for improv quilters, where all can grow freely, where new voices, ideas, practices and patterns are allowed to emerge, grow and transform through personal reflection and community interaction. 

Brave Patch is a school of thought, for those who are passionate about improv quilting as a creative life practice.

Brave Patch is a creative refuge and a place of comfort, where your inner light, wonky patterns and differences are cherished and can find expression. 

The Brave Patch School is a community of practice and a place where you will be seen, appreciated and met, no matter where you are on your creative journey. 

You will find workshops, courses, and our creative mentoring community the Brave Patch Groove. We’re focused on the ways improv quilting can make a huge difference in your life.

  • Connect and collaborate with other wonky makers ready to follow their own patterns, break free from perfectionism, and embrace their authentic voice and style of quilt making. 
  • Receive supportive feedback, and learn restorative practices that promote growth and well being.
  • Learn ruler-free techniques to enhance your improv quilting skills, and mindsets to move past overthinking and get you improvising like no one's watching! 

We get your improv quilts.

Dive playfully into improv quilting, letting your scraps be your guide! Flow effortlessly and spontaneously with ruler-free cutting and piecing tips to create a classic block—reimagined your way.

Our community is built on a heart-centered approach that recognizes improvisational quilt making as a profound creative life practice. 

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. Our commitment to community mentoring and creative connections is the soul and value of Brave Patch Groove membership.
