Alex first saw Ennobled on Facebook and was enthralled by it. And even though she didn't know who made it, she need to find out who that was. That person turned out to be Jamie Kalvestran, who created the quilt back in 2024 as a way to see if she could quilt and find the same joy and excitement she found when creating artwork. The title came about as a word that just kept popping into Jamie's head as she was finishing up the quilt. Unsure of what it meant, she looked it up and discovered it typically refers to being raised up into nobility. But the definition that she found that resonated with her was more about finding ourselves pursuing something that lifts us up, meaning that we feel ennobled. Once she completed the quilt, Jamie herself felt ennobled, or empowered, and believed that the quilt gave off the look of nobility.
