Commissioned by Dale Jarvis - St. John's, Newfoundland
& sewn by Willow Jackson
The Newfoundland and Labrador quilt square reflects the colours of the tartan and the lyrics of the Ode to
Newfoundland. Gold represents the sun; green, the pine-clad hills; brown for the minerals under
the earth and red
the province's British origin.
"When sunrays crown thy pine-clad hills
And Summer spreads her hand
When silvern voices tune thy rills
We love thee smiling land
We love thee, we love thee,
We love thee smiling land.
When blinding storm gusts fret thy shore
And wild waves lash thy strand
Thro' spindrift swirl and tempest roar
We love thee wind-swept land
We love thee, we love thee,
We love thee wind-swept land."
-Sir Cavendish Boyle
