A Visit to Family Heirloom Weavers

Last week Caleb, Eli and I enjoyed a unique experience - a field trip to Family Heirloom Weavers. This little business tucked in the countryside does big business all over America. They have woven carpets, drapes, fabric and other items for nine president's homes, many historical sites, as well as a variety of historically-based movies. Our tour of the factory was given by the owner - Mr. Kline - who obviously loves what he does. It was amazing to watch him go from loom to loom - touching the fabric, adjusting a part, re-attaching a thread - a master at his craft.
