Artisan · Textiles, knitting and sewing

Le point visible

Since her childhood, Marilyn has surrounded herself with women who would pass on their passion for sewing. Raised by her grandmother and her aunts, all of whom were seamstresses, every moment could become an excuse to take out the needle and thread. Over the years, this family environment became a place of transmission, ideal for the exploration of materials, textures and colors.

In 2017, after moving to the Eastern Townships, Marilyn met France Verrier, an experienced quilter from the Cercle des fermières organization. It was this meeting that sparked Marilyn's passion for the art of quilting. This artisanal method resonated both with her personal history and her values. Today, Marilyn is a member of the Cowansville Cercle des fermières and is officially recognized as aprofessional artisan.. She now strives to promote this cultural heritage traditionally practiced by women in Quebec and to grant greater visibility to this work that has long been overlooked.

Depuis son enfance, Marilyn s'entoure de femmes qui ont su transmettre leur passion pour la couture. Élevée par sa grand-mère et ses tantes couturières, chaque instant se transformait en un prétexte pour sortir le fil et l’aiguille. Au fil des ans, ce cocon familial est devenu un lieu de transmission et d’exploration des matières, des textures et des couleurs.

En 2017, après avoir déménagé dans les Cantons-de-l’Est, Marilyn fit la rencontre de France Verrier: une courtepointière chevronnée de l’organisation du Cercle de fermière. C’est lors de cette rencontre que Marilyn eut la piqûre pour l’art de la courtepointe. Cette méthode artisanale résonnait autant avec son histoire personnelle qu’avec ses valeurs. Aujourd’hui, Marilyn fait à son tour partie du Cercle de fermières de Cowansville et est reconnue officiellement en tant qu’artisane professionnelle des métiers d’art. Elle souhaite dorénavant faire rayonner ce patrimoine culturel traditionnellement pratiqué par les femmes du Québec et valoriser ce travail longtemps invisibilisé.
