Love in Every Stitch features the tangible stories of Métis women artists currently living in Kistapinanihk (the Prince Albert, SK region). Through the support of lead artists Leah Marie Dorion and Bonny Johnson, all participants were educated about the historic High Plains Métis Style Ribbon Skirt pattern and teachings; this served as the common framework for each of their sewing expressions.

This ribbon skirt project is grounded in love for our Métis heritage, community, family, and love for ourselves as modern Métis artists. (Leah M. Dorion)
