An exceptional piece, an artistic collaboration
This unique piece is the fruit of over a year's collaboration with textile artist Paula Bouffard. She applied dozens of natural plant dyes (acacia bark, avocado, etc.) to various recycled textiles.
Inspired by working with raw materials and the harmony of natural colors, quilter Marilyn Armand has taken up the creative baton. She explores the element of texture for the creation of this quilt. How, by working with quilting techniques (assembly, choice of fabrics, topstitching, etc.), can she create a movement as rich as the elements that make up her natural everyday environment?
Le jeté Dune or awakening the senses
The culmination of this process of creative and technical exploration is a quilt from which emanates an immediate impression of nature. If you were lucky enough to lie down on it, you'd get the feeling of a beach, grains of sand and the smell of the seaside...Materials and dimensions

Maintenance guide
Wash in cold water
Washing in cold water extends the life of our fabrics by better preserving their properties. Colored fabrics are particularly sensitive to hot water and their color can be altered. If there is a stain, don't panic. Wash the affected area with stain remover before washing the entire quilt in cold water. You can also use old-fashioned soap: this soap is miraculous and natural.
Dry flat
The dryer is the fabrics' worst enemy, especially for the seams. Machine-drying the quilt can not only cause the fabric to dry unevenly, but it can also cause the thread to wear out prematurely or break. The best way to avoid this is to dry your quilt flat on the clothesline, a handrail or the edge of a door.
Avoid storing in damp areas
If you must store your quilt, be sure to keep it in a dry place. For example, a cedar chest, like the ones of our grandmothers, is a perfect container to store your quilt as well as any other fabric. These boxes avoid excess humidity, harmful insects and it smells good! However, the best way to preserve your quilt is to use it rather than store it!
