Long ago, the Southern Utes of Colorado told of a plague that medicine men could not cure. A council gathered on the riverbank and built an enormous fire, danced and prayed for help, then fell into a deep sleep. When they woke, a spring of fragrant hot water had replaced the fire. They bathed and were healed by the springs, naming it "pah" (water) and "gosa" (boiling). In the center of this blanket design, blue hot springs rise through medallions of fire to bring peace and health.

Artist Bio:

Lindsey Thornburg was born in Great Falls, Montana. The only child of two young parents, she spent her childhood between Seattle and Montana before moving to the Aspen area for middle school and high school. She spent most of her youth traveling between family members and different schools. Throughout this period, she learned about adaptation and identity through fashion. Lindsey attended college in Santa Barbara and Design school in Los Angeles. She moved to NYC in 2003, with no interest in working for corporations, she set up shop and began selling her small dress collections on the streets of downtown. Growing up with western and Pacific Northwest roots, she was familiar with Pendleton from an early age. She envisioned modernizing their fabrications and born was her collaboration with the esteemed brand. The idea was of creative necessity. She wasn't able to find or afford any suitable winter jackets, she began wearing the blankets outside. This led to the idea that a high quality garment could be constructed from the beautiful fabrics. In 2011 Pendleton agreed to collaborate with Lindsey Thornburg. Given the legacy and the Native history Pendleton holds, Lindsey takes this collaboration very seriously and honors the privilege of working with America's finest woolen will company. Never viewing her creations as passing trends, she strives to make each garment an heirloom piece. The company has been self-funded and has grown its audience organically. All garments are considered, cut and constructed in NYC by Stacey Berry and Lindsey Thornburg.
