Lecture : Brooke Shankland - Contemplative Contemporary: A Journey Through Modern Quilt Design & Intention
We’re honored to welcome Brooke Shankland of Eudaimonia Studio for a deeply inspiring lecture: Contemplative Contemporary: A Journey Through Modern Quilt Design & Intention ✨
Brooke is a modern quilt designer whose work blends minimalism with meaning. Drawing from philosophy, mindfulness, and the human experience, she approaches quilting as more than a craft—it becomes a reflective and intentional practice.
Her designs explore themes of resilience, connection, and what it means to live well, inviting quilters to slow down and consider not just how they create, but why.
In this lecture, Brooke shares her journey and encourages us to bring greater intention and personal meaning into our work.
A beautiful and thought-provoking perspective on modern quilting.

Brooke is the designer and maker behind Eudaimonia Studio, which she founded to join her passions for philosophy and modern quilting. Having picked up sewing in 2016, she was quickly captivated by the many steps of the quilting process, and soon after began creating her own designs.
Each design she sketches is inspired by her search to answer the ancient question of what it means to live well and make the most of life. Through her both academic and personal study of secular philosophies—such as Stoicism, Humanism, Buddhism, Transcendentalism, among others—Brooke crafts simple, meaningful designs that are imbued with centuries of wisdom for purpose and human flourishing.
Brooke lives in Salt Lake City, Utah with her partner and spunky dog, Ace, where they enjoy all the outdoor activities the mountains have to offer. Having studied Economics, Philosophy and Social Enterprise, Brooke genuinely enjoys the multiple dimensions of running a small, creative business and aspires to make an impact through art that focuses on common humanity, mindfulness and well-being.
