Peregrin

07/01/2026

With every new chapter comes the reality that time and energy are finite, and not everything that once fit can come along. Since our move in January, life has taken a fulfilling new direction, allowing me to prioritize family while embracing new opportunities. After much reflection, I’ve realized that while Peregrin has been one of the greatest joys of my life, it is time to close this chapter and make space for what comes next. I will always be proud of the community we built, the artisans we supported, and everyone who made this journey so meaningful.

As Peregrin closes, I know the values that inspired it will continue to guide me. Serving on the board of Weave A Real Peace (WARP) allows me to continue supporting the global textile artisan community by advocating for traditional craft, fostering meaningful connections, and helping preserve the cultural heritage that has always been at the heart of Peregrin’s mission. While Peregrin is coming to a close, my commitment to the people and stories behind handmade textiles is not.

I am also taking on an expanded role at the YWCA of Greater Newburyport in aquatics and fitness, another passion of mine. I’m grateful to be part of an organization whose mission is to eliminate racism, empower women, and foster an inclusive community where people of all ages can thrive with dignity and a sense of belonging.

I hope Peregrin encouraged you to explore new cultures, gain a deeper appreciation for traditional craftsmanship, and reflect on the impact our purchasing decisions can have on people and communities around the world. Thank you for supporting not only Peregrin, but also the artisans and traditions that inspired it.

With gratitude,

Emily Huber
Owner, Peregrin

"Hidden Dwelling" is a collaborative textile work between Anitha N Reddy and Siddi quilter Shakeerambi Jamadar.

What follows is an analysis of the quilt's composition from Anitha:

This quilt operates on two simultaneous levels: it may appear symbolic, yet it is fundamentally a highly practical, solution-oriented design structure. The visual language emerges from making—responding to available scrap fabrics, spatial logic, and inherited compositional habits rather than from a predetermined narrative.

⸻

1. Structural Framework: Corners and Centre

A defining feature is the four-corner L-like formations, echoed again in the centre.
• The angular, stepped motifs in all four corners function as architectural anchors.
• They act as a framing device, stabilizing the surface visually.
• The repetition of this motif provides structural coherence across the quilt.

In many Siddi quilts, this corner-to-centre logic serves as a visual direction for the maker. The work often begins at the edge or corner and progresses inward. The design is therefore built through movement — edge → border → interior → centre.

The central stepped formation mirrors the corners, creating:
• A sense of containment
• A visual axis
• A structural “excuse” or scaffold to organize surrounding patches

This is not ornamental excess; it is compositional engineering.
