Canada Lyric, Mats, Paper Piecing and Squares


I grew up about 35 minutes from the Washington/British Columbia border. When I think of Canada, it's not just the Maple leaf, I think of, but the influence of the native peoples. So when I decided to do the Canada pieces, that is the direction I went, and not the English influence, French influence or the maple leaf.

The lyric is the words to "Canada (You're a Lifetime Journey), the song that plays during the CircleVision movie "Oh, Canada."

Font for the Canada title is a free font, Old Town.

The image for the paper piecing came from the package of an old EPCOT Center passport. Each of the countries had Mickey wearing the headgear appropriate for the country. These images were also used on buttons that they sold during the 80's and early 90s. I would LOVE to have clean images of all countries to make them all.
