Have you visited the
National Museum of the American Coverlet in Bedford, PA? I just learned about it today and I can't wait to go. They have an inspirational collection of antique woven coverlets dating back to the 1700's and 1800's as well as spinning wheels and weaving looms, a museum shop offering reproduction fabrics (photo above), gifts and books, and classes on spinning, dying, weaving, and rug hooking. Does that sound like fun or what?
If I wasn't a quilter, I could easily be a spinner and weaver! Or a maker of Navajo rugs. There's something so attractive about creating order out of chaos with fibers and textiles.
