FROM THE TEXTILE STUDIO
BUBBE MEDICINE PILLOWS
“Bubbe” is the Yiddish word for grandmother. For me, it evokes the image of a wise and loving elder —
a woman whose presence creates warmth, comfort, and a deep sense of belonging.
​
Bubbe Medicine Pillows were created to carry that feeling into everyday life.
Each pillow is designed as a small offering of comfort —
something to lean into, to hold, or to rest beside you as you settle into a moment of quiet.
​
Like the blankets, each pillow begins with one of my original paintings.
The artwork is translated into cloth and framed with soft velvet ruffles that add
texture, warmth, and a sense of gentle embrace.
​
Made from organic cotton and silk velvet, these pillows are created to be
both beautiful and deeply comforting —
objects that invite the body to relax and the spirit to soften.
​
Each piece is made to order and carries the subtle variations that come with handmade work.
​
They are small sanctuaries of softness —
reminders that comfort, care, and warmth still have a place in the world.
I have spent an entire lifetime seeking the love and comfort
contained within a small piece of fabric.
The blankets, pillows, and wraps I make now are my grown-up “Bonkies” —
small touchstones of comfort in a world that often feels anything but gentle.
