Revelation APEX Custom Sleeping Quilt - Forager
Quilts make an excellent canvas for creativity. Our original and best-selling sleeping quilt, but with APEX Synthetic fill, the Revelation, has been reimagined to highlight the incredible artistry within our community. For our third Artist Series design, we are proud to introduce the Forager Sleeping Quilt, designed by Savannah Edwards.
On warm nights, the Revelation Apex Sleeping Quilt can lay open as a blanket, and in colder temperatures, you can cinch the adjustable 1/4 length zipper footbox closed. This design allows you to dial in a comfortable night’s sleep in a wide range of different temperatures and climates. The perfection option for active sleepers!
The Revelation is a sleeping quilt, not a sleeping bag, which means it’s designed to be used with a sleeping pad to provide insulation underneath you, between you and the ground. The Revelation doesn’t have a full-length zipper or a built-in hood, saving weight and space in your pack.
About The Artist:
This design was inspired by my passion for mushrooms. One of my favorite hobbies with my husband is going out into the woods to find all sorts of unique and beautiful mushrooms, and taking home the edible ones to turn into something delicious. Every time I’m out there, I’m amazed by nature’s hidden intricacies scattered across the forest floor. Mushrooms come in all shapes, sizes, and colors, many of which you’d never notice unless you were truly looking for them.
Every mushroom featured in this design can be found in the Midwest, the home region of Enlightened Equipment, and many were drawn from photos I’ve taken myself. The color palette was inspired by the artist’s conk mushroom, a fascinating species that can be etched into to create art. I wanted each mushroom in the design to appear as if it had been delicately carved into an artist’s conk itself.
I’ve been making art since the day I could hold a pencil. My earliest inspiration came from my mom, who would spend hours creating in her little studio. She never made art for anyone but herself; she simply saw beauty in the world and wanted to express it. I used to sit at her feet for hours, just watching and being with her. I think that’s where I get it from. My three sisters and I all grew up surrounded by that same creative energy, and some of my favorite memories are of us sitting around the table together, each working on our own little projects: painting, drawing, or just making something out of nothing. Art has always been my way of observing the world a little more closely and capturing the details others might overlook. Whether I’m painting, carving, burning, or crocheting, creating keeps me grounded and curious. It will always be an essential part of who I am, bringing beauty and meaning to my life. I hope, through this design, to share a little of that beauty with others, too.
