Valley Girl Creations

Valley Girl Creations I am an Indigenous multi-medium Craftswoman and creator of beautiful things. John’s, NL, where she is a member of the Urban Indigenous community.

Teresa Best is a talented multi-medium craftsperson and artist, recognized for her exceptional skills in sewing, quilting, and knitting. Born and raised in Happy Valley, Labrador, Teresa is a proud Beneficiary of the Nunatsiavut Government and currently resides in St. Teresa's journey into the world of textiles began at a young age, influenced by her family's rich heritage of craftsmanship. Her fa

ther, a trapper, was known for making durable canvas tents and snowshoes, skills he passed down to Teresa. Her mother, who worked at the Hudson’s Bay Store, would bring home fabric ends to create beautiful, mismatched quilts, inspiring Teresa with her creativity and resourcefulness. Teresa's grandmother also played a significant role in shaping her artistic path. Known for her industrious nature, Teresa's Gram was always busy making something, whether it was deerskin mitts or seal skin boots to keep the family warm during winter. She taught Teresa to sew by hand, instilling in her the foundational skills and appreciation for meticulous craftsmanship that continue to influence her work today. With over 20 years of experience, Teresa has honed her craft, creating numerous quilts and knitted items. Her passion now lies in working with canvas, crafting bags that are both aesthetically pleasing and durable, reminiscent of the tents her father made. Teresa's work is a testament to her family's legacy and her own dedication to preserving and innovating traditional techniques.
