Serendipity Patchwork & Quilting: Brenda Gael Smith

Creating at Copacabana

WELCOME! to my teaching and design website.
An element of serendipity is integral to the art of quilt making. This quality of surprise spurs me to explore new possibilities in the fusion of colour, shape, line and texture through fabric and stitching.
