While digging through the history of Quilts in Canada, Pam Robertson Rivet, who is leading the fundraiser to bring Canadian-made World War Two Quilts back after 80 years, discovered the stories of two incredibly brave Canadian women during World War Two. Those women were Ethel Rogers Mulvany and Margaret Eaton Bishop. 

Mulvany was a prisoner of war during World War Two in Singapore. She was born in Manitoulin, Ontario, and was eager to volunteer with the Red Cross in Singapore. 

After almost 80 years, several historical quilts are in the process of returning home to Canada.

During the First World War, Canadian citizens were sending materials overseas such as quilts, bandages, and sweaters to support the war effort. 

Pam Robertson Rivet, lead of the fundraiser project to bring the quilts back to Canada, explained that when World War II came around, production accelerated significantly.
