I had the privilege of joining an Arctic expedition in March 2024. And what an adventure it was! It deepened my love for polar bears and inspired me to use my love of quilting to commemorate the experience.

I brought together the creativity that quilting allows with the awe that the Arctic inspires to create these handmade throw pillows. Each pillow is made to order, with colors and prints that evoke the expanse of the Arctic sky and icy landscape. I personally select all fabrics and devote care and time to the piecing, quilting, and assembly, creating a true keepsake and a cozy reminder of the beauty and wonder of the Arctic.

I THRIVE IN CREATIVITY

I love to make things and learn while doing. And quilting allows me to expand my skillset, learn a new art, and engage with others in a unique way. 

TRAVEL FUELS ME

Adventure has shaped who I am, from the Arctic tundra to cities around the world. Travel opens my eyes to new landscapes, cultures, and inspiration.

I’M INSPIRED BY NATURE’S WONDER

The polar bear holds a special place in my heart. Through these pillows, I aim to capture a little of the awe, beauty, and magic I felt on the ice.
