Part of the PNW Collection, which celebrates the influence of water across the Pacific Northwest, the Rialto Quilt is inspired by stacks of tree-sized driftwood logs that get pushed up onto the beaches along the Olympic Peninsula’s coastline. The balance and contrast of black and white with tonal grays and blues gives this quilt a bold aesthetic that’s both modern and timeless.

BEHIND THE DESIGN
I’ve seen my fair share of West Coast beaches and coastline during my travels, but it was the beaches along the Olympic Peninsula that really captivated me. There’s a drama and moodiness to them that conveys the power of the Pacific Ocean and encapsulates the entire ecosystem of the coastal Northwest. From the round beach rocks that have been tumbled and worn smooth by the waves to the sea stacks that have slowly been eroded over centuries, you can’t help but see how the earth ages in this place.
My favorite part of these beaches though, is the driftwood. It’s no tree limb or small bit of branch you can hold in your hand - it’s the whole dang tree, sometimes up to 10 feet around and 100 feet tall . Trees high up in the forest topple during winter storms and are washed down the rivers to the sea. During high tide, these trees are pushed up onto the beach and stack like pick up sticks. There is so much beauty in each individual piece of driftwood, but all of them together as a whole, creates a visual spectacle that can only be found in the Pacific Northwest.
GIVING BACK
As a way to give back to the places that have provided me with the inspiration for this collection of work, 5% of all sales from the PNW Collection will be donated to the Washington Association of Land Trusts and the Coalition of Oregon Land Trusts. These organizations represent nonprofits that help to protect and conserve the land, water, wildlife and culture across the Pacific Northwest.
