Partners for over 50 years...both in spirit and in their craft.
I spoke in depth to this couple as they used their their mid 1800 vintage loom. They were truly a throwback to a time when lovers entered marriage with no thought of prenuptials or trial periods. Partners in life, Artisans of a lost art...each piece of cloth produced was a creation that only together they could have brought to life. He on one side feeding in the thread, her on the other slowly...lovingly...together.
How appropriate...the art of weaving paralleled their life woven together in a bond every much as strong as the pieces of art they produced. The blanket will provide warmth and comfort for multiple generations of children, grandchildren and great grandchildren as it is passed from one generation to the next.
Their legacy together will survive in their art...long after they are gone.
