Sacred Sisters by Nadine Fortier

Shopping in Canada for the Sacred Sisters fabric collection by Nadine Fortier for Northcott is easy in the Along Came Quilting online store!

Created by Nadine Fortier, Sacred Sisters was developed to foster awareness of missing and murdered indigenous women, girls, and two-spirit people. Northcott will donate the net proceeds of this collection in support of MMIW. Every year on May 5th we acknowledge MMIW Day across Canada and the US, raising awareness of the injustice toward indigenous women and their families. In purchasing the powerful and compelling art printed as a panel and a quick sew tote, you honour the voices that have been silenced by violence, not only on May 5th, but throughout the year. We have paired these prints with Chroma basics providing many creative options.

Nadine Fortier is a proud Métis woman, born and raised in the heart of Alberta, Canada. Her deep roots in the Métis community have shaped her identity and inspired a lifelong commitment to preserving and celebrating Indigenous culture.

With a compassionate spirit, Nadine is deeply committed to shining a light on the ongoing crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW). She believes it is essential to honour their memory and ensure that their stories are never forgotten. She is driven by the belief that raising awareness is a vital step toward building a safer and more equitable future for Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit people across Canada.
