Alaska is known as The Last Frontier for good reason. It’s more than
twice the size of Texas, with landscapes that stretch from temperate
rainforests to icy tundra. Towering mountains dominate the horizon,
their snow-capped summits meeting the clouds. Rivers wind through deep
valleys, glaciers glint in the sunlight, and vast forests fill with wind
and wildlife, each corner offering its own breathtaking view. Water
shapes this place, too. Along the 33,000 miles of shoreline, across the
forests and tundra, wildlife thrives — Kodiak bears, bald eagles, and
puffins with their colorful beaks are just a few of the unforgettable
residents. And then, there are the people. Alaska is home to 228
federally recognized tribes and to countless adventurers who carve out
lives in remote communities. Like the state itself, Alaskans are
resilient, resourceful, and endlessly creative. That spirit shows up in
their quilting. Each quilt, like each community, tells a story of
tradition, imagination, and a deep connection to the land. As you turn
these pages, we invite you to explore Alaska’s patchwork of people,
places, and artistry—stitched together into something unforgettable.
