Explore the Traditions of Rug & Quilt Making

"​The humble rag rug was part of cottage and farm interiors as well as the terraced houses in the industrial towns of the north. Cold stone floors were warmed and brightened by scraps of fabric fashioned into these cheerful home items, sometimes put together as a social or family activity and sometimes as a careful work of art depicting animals, flowers or events. Usually worn out and thrown away not destined to become family heirlooms."
