France Patchwork

Founded in 1984, France Patchwork is the national association dedicated to promoting and developing quilting in France. With nearly 5,000 members in France and internationally, it brings together enthusiasts from diverse backgrounds who share a common ambition: to transmit, share, and advance this demanding and vibrant textile art.

Through its regional branches, friendship days, training programs, publications, and collective projects, the association fosters learning, creativity, and exchange. It supports both beginners and experienced quiltmakers in a spirit of conviviality and high standards. Each year, Carrefour highlights textile creativity and excellence through the France Patchwork competitions, true showcases of its members’ talent and artistic sensitivity.

With the theme With My Whole Being, participants are invited to express through their quilt what deeply moves them — what makes their hearts beat and their souls resonate.

The theme opens a space where emotions, memories, commitments, and passions are transformed into textile creations. Every stitch, fabric choice, and color nuance becomes a reflection of inner life, a vibrant trace of personal energy.

This competition celebrates sincerity and the expressive power of the quilt. It calls for authenticity, inviting artists to create, within the categories of traditional, textile art, or modern quilt, works born from intensity and inner truth.
