PREFACE
History records the landing of a group of settlers off the coast of Plymouth, Massachusetts. And, how well they used their knowledge of handcrafts to start life anew! After hewing their homes out of the forest, warmth and coziness were the next considerations. Warmth came from the hearths of huge fieldstone fireplaces, built by the menfolk - but, for coziness, they turned to the work of women. For, since time immemorial, women have made castles out of ordinary homes.
During the long winter evenings the women would gather together to sew and knit, leaving the men to discuss future plans. Out of these gatherings the traditional New England town meeting was born.
Night after night, old garments were torn into regular strips, as the first step in the making of a hand-braided rug. The strips were then folded properly by hand and basted with thread made at their own flax wheel. The children helped with enthusiasm, for making braid was a family affair. The next step was sewing the vari-colored braids together - and the rug was complete. Though a rug took the better part of three months for completion, it was a happy work. Some of these treasured rugs, still in existence, hold stories of never-to-be-forgotten hours of happiness.
