After my grandmother, died, my mother commissioned a bear maker to make my grandmother’s muskrat fur coat into three bears as a mementos for us. The bears were, Robert<\/strong> (my grandmother’s first name was, Roberta) which belongs to my brother, Elva<\/strong> (my grandmother’s middle name) which belongs to me, and Grandma<\/strong> which belongs to my mother.
\"\"Since Elva is owned by me and I am a quiltmaker, it was not long and I had made Elva her own quilt. This quilt is named, Canada Day. It is red and white – the colours of the Canadian flag and has a backing with small Canadian flags on it.<\/p>\n

When my mother discovered that Elva had her own quilt, she wanted a quilt made for her bear. I decided that the quilt would be a gift for my mother for Mother’s Day. I finished the quilt in April 2001 and took it to my local quilt guild for show and tell. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\"\"The guild was asked to develop a display to showcase quilting for the the local library. I was asked if I would loan my small quilt to this display for the month of April. These pictures are of the showcase as it appeared in the entrance of the library.<\/p>\n

These pictures show the details of the quilt. Take a look at the penny in the upper right hand corner. I have never made blocks this small since! I do not enjoy making quilts with triangles but I managed to make tiny half square triangles for this quilt using the “Square in a Square” ruler developed by Jodi Barrows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
