Should you change your career or reinvent it? Quilt maker Marilyn B. Armand and fashion entrepreneur Inder Bedi may have different answers to this question, but they share a desire to create objects that are useful, minimalist, and beautiful.

In 2018 Marilyn B. Armand left her job and the city to settle in Bedford, in Québec’s Eastern Townships. After a quilting class with a farmers’ circle, she was inspired to both reconnect with and modernize this ancestral knowledge. Today, she’s bucking the trends of the textile industry with Le Point Visible, a quilting company that she runs out of a former factory.
On the cusp of his 40th birthday, Matt & Nat founder Inder Bedi sold his shares in the company and began looking for new ways to combine his interests in design and sustainable development. His journey led him to create BEDI, a company that uses new recycling technologies to make clothes and bags from scraps and other rejected materials.
