The hand-sewn quilt, composed of thirty-four hundred pieces, was made by her grandfather, Alex- ander Fleming. Alexander Fleming, a master tailor, came from Scotland as a young man with his regiment which was garrisoned at Hali- fax. Here he met and married a young Englishwoman, Elia- beth Jones who was the nurse- maid to his colonel's family. When the regiment's tour of duty was completed, Alexander Fleming left the army. to settle in Canada, but one of the "boys" took back to Scotland a patchwork cushion cover that the master tailor had made for his mother. According to Mrs. Cordy, the cushion cover gave her grand- father the idea of making a quilt, How long it took to make she does not know but her grandmother told her that she had stitched on the ten yards of eight-inch red wool fringe, bor- dering the quilt. The quilt is composed of regu- lar shaped cuttings of heavy wool broadcloth, leftover pieces from army officers' dress uni- forms in red, white, yellow, dark blue and black. The centre design measuring 19 x 25 inches depicts the royal coat of arms with the lion and the unicorn supporting -- the crown and garter embellished by the rose, thistle and sham- rock. Surrounding the centrepiece are the flags of many nations, including the Union Jack, the Cross of St. Andrew, the Cross Wales, Turkey, Mexico, Greece, and the Stars and Stripés show-| ing 13 stars for 13 colonies. Above the royal coat of arms) is the coat of arms of Nova Scotia, depicting the unicorn and an Indian maid supporting the shield and cross of St. An- drew, patron of Scotland and "New Scotland."' In the clasped hands above 'the shield are sprays of thistle and mayflower, | floral emblems of Scotland and| Nova Scotia.
