“I grew up with old-fashioned rag rugs in my home and I like the old-fashioned part of it. It’s an authentic, old craft. It’s been around since primitive times, when they wove reeds and grasses. They didn’t have plastic bowls and things. They wove and did it by hand. That was weaving. They carried water, they made mats to sleep on.”
