This pretty rug was made by an 85 year old women that was also an excellent seamstress and knitter. As a young women she worked as a milliner. Though not very old, the rug required 8 braid reattachments and miscellaneous relacing. It was originally to be discarded but has been brought back to a long and useful life.

"Marge, My rug arrived yesterday and it looks great. Thank you for saving my memories and for the tender loving care. Also thanks for the instructions for keeping it nice as long as I can."...San Clemente, Ca.
