Contemporary Handwoven Rugs

March 9, 2011 by Allison 3 Comments

colorful handwoven rugs by Claudia Mills Studio via AtticmagTraditional weaving techniques are interpreted in modern handwoven rugs.

I was first introduced to handwoven rugs three decades ago when my parents were living near the Pennsylvania Amish country.  Mr Shops and I purchased several rag rugs for our first home.  Three children and numerous pets later, they were still going strong.  With our first grandchild on the way, I was delighted to run across veteran weaver Claudia Mills’ floor coverings online.

    I’m in lust. Those are magnificent. Much more my style than the usual area rugs. I fell in love with hand woven textiles in my textiles class in college. One of my friends from that class made us hand woven napkins for a wedding gift that I treasure.

    More my style too, Rhome. I’m a big texture person. Would love one of these in my kitchen between the range and sink. I bet the napkins are beautiful.
