{"product_id":"cold-canadians","title":"Cold Canadians","description":"Cold Canadians - This quilt was in a special exhibition at the Patchwork Expo in Lyon France\r\n2006. The theme \"Culture of my Country\" was to give the artist the\r\nopportunity to showcase her country's particular character. I wanted to\r\navoid the obvious like Mounties and beavers, so focused on the inevitable\r\nsubject of cold Canadian winters. It took centuries for European colonizers\r\nto finally believe what our native Inuit people knew all along....that is,\r\nthat the parka is the ideal garment for our frigid winters. I paid homage to\r\nInuit art by quilting in some well known symbols of their culture such as\r\nmigrating cariboo, snowy owl, Canada geese and salmon. Recycled velvets and\r\nrayon were perfect fabrics for the dense trapunto-like quilting. \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pamela Allen \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eQuilter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pamela Allen \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eYear Made:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2005 \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eOwned By:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pamela Allen \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 31.5 x 29 inches \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eShows \u0026amp; Museums:\u003c\/strong\u003e NA \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAwards:\u003c\/strong\u003e NA \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pamela Allen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54049383547155,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0918\/4575\/5155\/files\/8943373_q.jpg?v=1776188718","url":"https:\/\/gallery.thequiltshow.com\/products\/cold-canadians","provider":"The Quilt Show Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
