Excerpt from The Craft of Hand-Made Rugs
The general interest in handicraft which the Arts and Crafts Movement has aroused has revived certain old-time industries, some of which have been successfully adapted to modern standards of taste. Coming from a background of pioneer and Colonial activity, they first attract us because of their traditional and historical associations, for truly there is nothing new under the sun, though real interest may be awakened when a familiar object puts on a new dress. Our great-grandmothers and our grandmothers have handed down to us these simple crafts, and a revival of them under newer ideals should call out widespread attention from our countrywomen and prove a valuable addition to modern home-making.
These crafts should appeal to the amateur because they require only simple materials and equipment. The left-overs and cast-offs of a household will often prove an ample supply. The tools are also of the simplest make.
