Your consideration helps everyone have a safe and enjoyable experience. Join Giuseppe Ribaudo — better known as Giucy Giuce — for a four‑day creative retreat featuring Cornichon, his brand‑new foundation paper piecing workshop inspired by the classic pickle dish quilt. Cornichon is not a pattern — it’s an immersive technique‑driven experience built around Giuseppe’s innovative modular foundation paper piecing method. Each block you create is uniquely your own, giving you endless opportunities to explore color, shape, and composition. Over four days, you’ll dive deep into the structure of the design, learn how the modular units interact, and discover how small variations can transform the entire quilt. This retreat is designed for quilters who love experimentation, modern aesthetics, and hands‑on learning. Whether you’re new to FPP or already obsessed, you’ll leave with a strong understanding of Giuseppe’s process, a collection of one‑of‑a‑kind blocks, and the confidence to continue building your Cornichon quilt long after the retreat ends. Cancellation Policy This event is non‑refundable. We are flying the educator in specifically for this retreat. Please ensure the dates work for your schedule before signing up.
