The Colombian Connection
Yuliana Erazo and her sister collaborate on two continents to create beades jewelry
Yuliana Erazo was in Colombia, coordinating global trade in meat for a multinational company when she agreed to transfer to Chicago—where she fell in love with a colleague who was Dutch and Nepali and living in St. Louis. They decided it made more sense to follow his job and quitting hers gave her the freedom to explore what interested her. Now she sells real estate, which is a part of her family history; her parents did it as a side job. But she’s also landed a side gig of her own, staying up until the wee hours to help her sister, Miller Erazo, start a jewelry company. It’s called Cattleya Handmade, after the orchids they loved as children.
I’M GUESSING IT TOOK A LOT OF COURAGE FOR YOUR SISTER TO STEP BACK FROM HER CORPORATE LAW PRACTICE TO STRING BEADS.

Cut from the Same Cloth
“Turkey Tracks” is a 19th-century quiltmaking pattern that has the appearance of little wandering feet. Patterns like the tracks, and their traditions and myths, have been passed down through the generations, from their frontier beginnings to today, where a generation of makers has embraced the material as a means of creating something new. Olivia Jondle is one such designer. Here, she’s taken an early turkey track-pattern quilt, cut it into various shapes, and stitched the pieces together, adding calico and other fabric remnants as needed. The result is a trench coat she calls the Pale Calico Coat. Her designs are for sale at The Rusty Bolt, Jondle’s small-batch fashion company based in St. Louis. —SAMANTHA STEVENSON
