What We Do

Portfolio of Recent Projects

Use the below for a sampling of services which can inspire you on how we can work together.

If what you’re imagining isn’t listed here, let’s talk!

Story Quilters helps communities explore complex stories with care, curiosity, and collaboration—turning that shared work into visitor-centered interpretation and community connection.

We partner with museums, parks, public agencies, and community groups to engage people around histories, values, issues, and place—crafting interpretation and experiences that people can encounter with clarity, honesty, and trust.

Let's Talk!

Sampling of Services

  • Four diverse people having a discussion around a table with sticky notes, a notepad with a light bulb drawing, and a pencil. Two speech bubbles above them contain a message icon and a heart icon, indicating communication and shared ideas.

    Facilitation and Community Conversations

    We need to find ways to talk to each other again. Leaning largely on work in partnership with Braver Angels, we design structured engagement processes that bring people together around complex questions, help communities reflect on multiple perspectives, and build shared direction for interpretive work and civic planning.

  • Group of four women and one man standing in a training room, with a tennis ball at the center connected to strings held by each person, participating in a team-building activity.

    Workshops & Training

    It was love at first training. From hosting interpretive learning circles to full week virtual or in-person trainings, our workshops and trainings build practical skills in interpretation, engagement, and conversation—supporting professionals who work with visitors, communities, and complex stories.

  • Illustration of binoculars, a signpost with directional arrows, and an information board with a mountain and lake scene, all enclosed in a circle.

    Exhibits, Signage & Programming

    We turn shared understanding into clear, engaging interpretive work.
    We partner with you to translate stories into compelling interpretive tools—exhibits, site signage, guided programs, digital elements, and learning experiences grounded in community insight and research.

  • A white dog walking down a narrow dirt trail through a golden field of tall grass, with mountains and cloudy sky in the background.

    Interpretive & Strategic Planning

    We support strategic & interpretive planning that connects mission, story, and action—so plans reflect both purpose and place. From small museums to large sites, we have over two decades of experience teaching and implementing interpretive plans. We’ll work together to find new ways to share complex history, lift up previously undiscovered stories and set a path to connect our visitor to the places we love.

    Our work with NGOs, downtown associations, and community groups centers people and place—resulting in strategic plans that reflect shared values and practical realities.
