How better to depict it than with the Parliament building, a Canadian flag and the uphill climb (for the battle)! <strong>That was my take... </strong>and I actually found out a little story tied to this. So once upon a time, there was a colourful comment made in a neighborly way to Mom with reference to a Mad Cow in the same sentence... from that came the motivation to design this rug - a Cow, she was Mad eating the flowers on Parliament Hill - submitted to the Quilt Show in Ottawa (and it was around the time of Mad Cow disease too).]</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<strong>Nouveau Art Cat </strong>and <strong>Two Moon Cats </strong>(having a romantic moment looking at the Moon)<br />
Notes: Russian Punch pieces were sewn on as pockets to minimize the bending at the edge and exposing the [white] background. <br />

<br />
<strong>Original Design - Barb's story to University Graduation</strong>... Hooked by Sybil in Barb's favorite theme - Bears! Every square depicts an event or milestone in the journey from baby to University graduation from Trent University. What a treasure... <br />
(When: around 1987 Graduation year! Size is about 4' x 3' each square is 12" x 12")<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JtLq-uY5JI4/Tbc5CmBPYCI/AAAAAAAASig/kl09bg6qHOE/s1600/IMG_4861.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="425" i8="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JtLq-uY5JI4/Tbc5CmBPYCI/AAAAAAAASig/kl09bg6qHOE/s640/IMG_4861.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />
Another milestone rug...<br />
<strong>Original Design -</strong> In Barb's favorite rose colours, and for our first Home (Bungalow in Richmond Hill on Boisdale Ave)<br />
From our wedding and up until this year, we had this rug as the centre piece in our living room - then the Emily Carr's were hooked and the colour theme changed! The rug is now on our bedroom floor where Cooper has made a few 'catches' in the loops when he jumps on and off the bed. I did not want to hide it away in a chest somewhere and besides it was too big to fold!<br />
(When: 1991 - For 20 years it rested on a living room floor - size is 54" x 78")<br />
<br />

<br />
<strong>Original Design - "Barbara" </strong><br />
Ballerina ready for the concert - posed for a ballet photo at around age 12. Another favorite, I love that the ballet slippers were attached as part of the hooking and ribbon added for the ankle ties... (The original point shoes were attached, I actually added the other pair when I found them in a drawer.) This warms my heart as Mom played piano when I practiced the lessons and drove me to Owen Sound for Sheila Milne Highland Dance and Eleanor Brennan Ballet lessons, we went a LOT and then on to Oakville for some lessons as I got older until 16 when I was a passenger in a snowmobile accident. I went on to teach for a few years before I went off to college. <br />
(When: not sure? - size if 18" x 27")<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><strong>Original Design - Barb and Bill's Wedding Rug </strong></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Now this is a gem! When I walked down the aisle in our back yard on a beautiful day Sept 7, 1991 it was not until I got to the 'alter area' that I looked down and said "Oh Mom" and almost cried... what a beautiful surprise... Bill and I stood on this for our wedding vows, how can you beat that! I believe my dog Sam also joined us there (Barb forgot Bill's ring in the house and a friend, Thanks Joey, ran into the house to get them but dear Sam got out... This hangs in our bedroom; always has, always will. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">(When: 1991 size - 16" x 37") </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GzbGkSHxur0/Tbc5BGl4SyI/AAAAAAAASiY/GfbmropUIds/s1600/IMG_4863.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" i8="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GzbGkSHxur0/Tbc5BGl4SyI/AAAAAAAASiY/GfbmropUIds/s640/IMG_4863.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />
