We see creative growth within our members all of the time. It comes from practice, from curiosity, and it is definitely nurtured within community. How does community nurture growth? It comes from the encouragement and support we receive from others, it comes from sharing ideas and experimenting with those ideas, asking “What if?” and saying "Yes, and!"

 

We'll be holding one of our favorite styles of GrooveTime this Wednesday, July 10 at 8 pm Eastern where three of our members will each be sharing a collection of their quilts. We'll all have a chance to give feedback to them, to learn from them and each other. Sure hope you can join us live!  

 

If not live, this session will be added to our directory of more than 40 GrooveTime replays—such a wealth of insights and ideas available to our members anytime! Look for “Focus on Evaluations” in the 2023 replays if you want to see this type of session from the past. 

 

Take a peek at all that's going on inside BP this month below.

At this month's Groove Time three members will each share a collection of their work as they reflect on what they've learned on their creative journeys. Sherri will lead conversations with them for focused and constructive feedback from our thoughtful and insightful community.

BravePatch Member Jan Luca shared her “3/4 Time” quilt she made using the Badass Core Values Score.  Jan says, “The core value I identified was diversity within feminism. I learned this when I was seven years old and began taking piano lessons from Jean Phillips. She was different from any other adult women in my life; mother, aunts, grandmothers etc.  Jean was colorful from her tangerine colored nails and red-gold hair, to the clothes she wore and her full throated laughter. I was mesmerized and my life became about fulfillment of weekly lessons to please her. I used seven different fabrics because I was seven when I met Jean. ” Read more from Jan and learn more about the Badass Core Values Score. 

 

 

BravePatcher Sarah Olson is taking her first steps into machine quilting. You can see her post here and you can follow along more by watching the May 2024 Machine Quilting Adventures replay where she talks about her challenges and adjustments and following her curiosity. She gets great feedback with suggestions and ideas as she moves forward—such a supportive and encouraging group. If you're interested in machine quilting, you should give this member-led group a try!
