Get to Know Elizabeth Olwen

Elizabeth’s newest collection with Cloud9 Fabrics is Stardust, which was inspired by our deep connections to each other, to nature, to the cosmos.
Elizabeth Olwen is a Canadian print-and-pattern designer and colour enthusiast living in Lisbon, Portugal. She creates highly considered patterns and illustrations infused with heart and soul, with the intention of spreading beauty, of amplifying joy. Inspired by the world around her—from dense Canadian forests, to the colours and tiles of Lisbon, and her abundant spiritual and travel adventures in the life in between—Elizabeth’s meaningfully-made artwork is driven by the desire to leave something beautiful behind with every step she takes, while being gentle on this beautiful planet that nurtures and inspires her so much.

Stardust is a super groovy and sparkly quilter’s weight collection inspired by our deep connections to each other, to nature, to the cosmos. It’s a celebration of nature’s many magical forms, a world where rainbows talk to flowers and we take our cues from the moon. A world where everything, and everyone, is made of stardust.

Now in Stores | Universal Love by Elizabeth Olwen

In times of great change, there are golden opportunities for growth and connection. We are given the chance to see with fresh eyes, to rebuild, to begin again. To reconsider who we want to be, how we want to live, and how we want to love. Universal Love is about awakening to and connecting with the opportunities, surrounding ourselves with the messages that empower and support us, so we can empower and support each other.

Mexican Tiles Quilt {variation} by Cloud9 Fabrics

Ethereal Jungle is a collection inspired by Utopian ideals. It takes place in a land untouched by modern ways, where nature is honoured, and women peacefully rule. Where turquoise waters recede into white sands, and the wild untamed jungle beyond warmly beckons you. Dense in its green, moist in your lungs, it’s a freshness new to your soul.

Now in Stores | Faraway Places by Elizabeth Olwen

In places far far away, time moves slow. We are in touch with the land. We watch the sun set. We look to nature for guidance. We spend our days working with our hands, weaving, and putting love into the things we craft. Inspired by Elizabeth’s travels and eternal wanderlust, this collection is a window to Faraway Places.
