About Us


Remember the carefree days of childhood when you could play outside in the snow all day, then curl up with some hot chocolate, snacks and a board game? We want to bring those cozy home feelings back into adulthood... a nostalgic calm. We create pieces of art that become the focal point of a room, but can also be swept around your shoulders for a heart warming afternoon of reading by an open window. With our plush textures and quality fabrics, not only will our quilts improve your quiet comforts, they may one day be passed down to your loved ones.

Quilts become heirlooms out of love.

Quilts carry within them a connection to the past. When they are handed down, the memories hold the magic.

The quilt is the comforting reminder.

It tells your story.
