This delightful original pattern makes full use of recycled materials and is possibly hooked on a burlap feedbag. The design may be inspired by quilt motifs, especially the overlapping scallops that are seen in many heritage mats.

NBMR2010.22.1 | mat
This mat may have been inspired by a "Pin Wheel" quilt pattern. Excecuted in a primitive style, its bright colours give it a very modern look. A gift from a grandmother to a granddaughter in 1957.

NBMR2012.23.1 | mat
This mat features an impressive central motif of sculpted flowers accentuated by a restrained background. Skilfully and carefully hooked, a technique that the maker learned from Marie‑Louise Allard Blanchard, who operated a well‑known textile business, in Caraquet, NB.
