As a small business woman, I wanted to support other small, family owned business in all of my ventures.  All of the products offered by me are made in the USA, by family owned businesses and individuals. I am a graphic artist myself and have a degree in both graphic design and fine art.

All of the tapestries, Afghans, pillows and placemats are made by a family owned and operated business. They started in 1988 with a simple idea: Deliver the best quality products at a reasonable price. They are located in Lynn, NC at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains. All products are made of the best quality yarn and woven in their own mill. I searched for the best American Made tapestries and weavings and found them at a family owned establishment called Pure Country Weavers!

Pure Country Weavers manufactures the highest quality jacquard woven afghans, wall hangings, pillows, and placemats in the world. Many of their professional textile master craftsman apply their trade utilizing knowledge handed down to them from their equally accomplished parents. All are master craftsman and put the utmost care and attention in thier work. It seems Old World Craftsmanship has made it to the New World in this small North Carolina town! They are truely the best!

I am a graphic artist and designer. I started out as a photographer and artist, and have been working in the graphics field for about 26 years. I am a  graphic designer for several  business's and do some architectural drafting as well.  When  I was a full time artist  my  work  hung in galleries in St. Louis, Mo. Most of my work now is in graphic design and drafting, although I do still enjoy drawing and painting.
