The American Textile Museum closed and donated their woven fabric (still on the back beam of the looms) to the NE Quilt Museum. I had to hire movers because some of the loaded beams weighed about 200 pounds, then unwind and cut the pieces before stitching seams for coverlets, lap robes, place mats and table runners. Everything also had to be washed as there was shrinkage and in the case of the red, bleeding.
