About Nordic Calico
My name is Kari
I grew up in northern Minnesota, where my childhood was filled with jumping on hay bales and picking berries in the woods. I have a Master of Arts (MFA) in Painting from Colorado State University, and a Bachelor of Arts in Fine Arts and Scandinavian Studies from Gustavus Adolphus College.
My first sewing machine was a Bernina which was a Christmas present from my parents when I was 15. I am a mother of two, and a former professor of art and art history. I was also a TICA registered Norwegian Forest Cat breeder in the US and have spent lots of time in Norway and Sweden. My company name and logo represent this history!

In English, the term 'calico' refers both to a multi-colored cat, as well as to prints on cotton fabric, such as that used for quilting.
