Miss Winnie Designs is modern; it’s traditional; it’s whatever it wants to be, frankly.
Miss Winnie Designs was started in 2017 by Hanna Bialik Bourque, who was inspired to name her company after her maternal great-grandmother, Winifred Hamilton (aka Miss Winnie)
Hanna is inspired by a spunky spirit and familial narrative to combine the refinement of quilting tradition with the audacity of post-modern exploration. She loves juxtaposition, which means she’s prone to combining elements, typically thought of as contradictory, into a whole which is stronger and more awesome than any of its parts. Other common motifs in her work are minimalism, nature, geometry, nostalgia, music, animals and unexpected but gorgeous colour-combinations.
Hanna lives in Lethbridge, Alberta and is driven crazy by her husband, Mike, her two sons, Cole & Luke, and dog and two cats. Hanna has her sights on growing and expanding her company in the coming years, including more patterns (quilting & accessories), finished products, fabric designing, and, well, pretty much anything she can get her hands on!
