Our approach
Local roots
Since autumn 2024, Le point visible has been a fixture in the village of Stanbridge East, in the Eastern Townships. Nestled in a renovated former general store (Blinn's store), our workshop now houses a boutique section for some twenty selected artisans in a variety of complementary mediums: pottery, leatherwork, woodworking, blown glass and more.
This is where we continue to create our modern quilts, one at a time. Textiles are sourced primarily from local and Montreal-based textile companies. Our aim is to create supportive communities by promoting the circular economy.
Open to the public a few days a week, it allows you to discover creations in person, discuss personalized projects, or simply dive into the world of contemporary handmade.

An artisanal method
Using upcycled textile scraps, we make unique and imaginative handcrafted creations. The constraints that result from using upcycled materials push us to create differently, while imposing a working pace that is characteristic of the artisan.
A durable process that stands the test of time
The manufacturing process and the quality of the selected materials make the quilt a unique textile. This ancestral craft is part of a local know-how that has proven itself over time. Essentially, the quilt is composed of several layers of fabric held together by a seam called topstitching. This method makes the textile ultra durable and gives it an unequalled life span.
Upcycling and eco-friendly materials
The textile industry is one of the most polluting in the world. By creating a new product from fabrics that were destined to be thrown away, we extend the life cycle of these materials. These upcycled fabrics are mostly new materials that are unfit for use in the conventional industry (end of stock, coupons, scraps from designers, etc.).
«"Upcycling is a particular practice in recycling whereby the resulting product has an added value or utility considered superior to that of the original product." (B.Barthelot, 2018)
By optimizing the use of resources at every stage of the production chain, we can make a product that generates almost no waste!
