Inspiration

Ice Flow, designed by Janet Langdon, captures the layered beauty and raw power of multi-season pack ice. The overlapping patches mirror how ice floes collide and stack upon one another, forming a dense, textured mass at the base of the quilt, gradually easing into open space toward the top. This dynamic composition reflects the ever-shifting relationship between land, sea, and ice—a story of seasonal transformation. Rooted in Newfoundland’s quilting traditions, Ice Flow embraces the resourceful practice of using every fabric scrap, echoing a heritage of sustainability and creativity. Rather than relying solely on geometric patterns, Langdon’s design revives the art of didactic storytelling through textiles, creating an image-based narrative that speaks to both history and landscape. More than an artistic expression, this quilt serves as a visual intersection of science, nature, and human interaction with the environment. As climate change alters the patterns of ice movement, Ice Flow becomes a meditation on resilience—both of the natural world and of the communities that have long lived in close relationship with it. It is a reminder that design is not just about form but also about our connection to the forces that shape our world.

Fabrication

The complex quilt is made on Fogo and Change Islands by quilters with decades of passion and experience. The colours and patterns of the cotton material will vary as materials can be vintage or new remnants. All quilts come with a tag embroidered with the name of the maker who design and crafted it. A bespoke option is available for those who want to be a part of the design process in selecting textiles and stitching. Upon receipt of your package, simply select your quilt's colour family, colour tone, weight, and a custom embroidered label. After receiving your selections, a member of our team will be in touch with you to finalize your fabric choices and discuss any further customization options to create your own one-of-a-kind heirloom quilt.
