About the
Bear's Paw block:
The Bear's Paw block is over a hundred
years old, having originated in pioneer America. As you might imagine,
coming across a bear track while travelling a wilderness trail definitely
signalled the traveller to proceed with all senses alert.
Quilters who wanted to make a quilt
for someone who was planning a great or dangerous undertaking would
often choose a Bear's Paw block design. According to the family
history of Ozella McDaniel Williams, runaway slaves knew that Bear's
Paw quilts marked the best northern route through the Appalachian
mountain wilderness to food, water and eventual freedom. All of
this history was considered when we chose our name and we are very
proud to have this powerful and beautiful design for our logo.
All prices are listed in Canadian
dollars.
