Made in Pittsfield, Ma. in 1961 by Jadwiga Loveless who died before
it was finished. She used scraps from a local coatmaker. It was commissioned
to be restored by her son now living in Bethel, Ct. "Most of what
I know about our family history was taught to me through stories that
my Mom would tell me as she worked on this rug," he relates. The
wool scraps were picked up by her once a week and then turned into this
lovely, treasured heirloom. It has been my pleasure to restore it by
repairing it and then finishing it from where she left off.
