About the Fabric Designer: Roxanne Shuttleworth is a Métis woman (of Saulteaux/Cree/Dakota/British/Scottish/French descent) from Ebb & Flow First Nation.
A single mother of two, Roxanne’s greatest joy comes from her two grandsons Aiden and Calvin. Roxanne learned the thread arts from her mother, grandmothers, and maternal aunties. At six years old she learned to crochet, then added beading, knitting, cross stitch and embroidery. Sewing since she was 9 years old, it was the frustration of not finding any fabrics that represented her, and her people that led her to search for ways to design her own fabric.
