This mat appears to be a commercial pattern commemorating the Canadian Centennial. The mother of thirteen children, her mats were made for functional use in the home. Executed in primitive style of outline and fill, the subdued colour of the background is practical but accentuated with some bright motifs.

The mat was started at a workshop on fine shading put on by the Nova Scotia Heritage Guild School. It is hooked using new wool and recycled wool from sweaters. The colour variation comes as a result of dip‑dyeing some of the material. The maker began hooking with Heritage Rug Hooking Guild at Forest Hill, Fredericton, NB, in 1990.

This delicate interpretation of a Garrett's commercial pattern features a sophisticated choice of colour, a careful balancing of elements and a subtle juxtaposition of textures.
