Janet says that this has been a terrific week. “We really liked being in Durham, Chapel Hill and Pittsboro to meet people all over the Triangle. I noticed that people really like the Mountains and Rains designs because it has a lot of colors, and represents the traditional designs yet also reflects a contemporary look. They also liked the small special designs that my father Federico wove because they are non-traditional and unusual.”

This rug includes colors made from cochineal, pomegranate, marigold, pecan leaves, moss.
Janet also says that people who know about weaving and appreciate textiles and art are those who understand the labor and time that goes into creating them. It was wonderful to welcome people to the exhibitions at Dos Perros Restaurant in Durham, at Erica Rothman’s home in Chapel Hill and at the General Store Cafe in Pittsboro. We had so many people come to the General Store Cafe that we have started saying Pittsboro del Valle, because it is Janet home away from home in Teotitlan del Valle!
