Abstract:

Elizabeth Norris first became interested in tablecloths for handbell tables thirty years ago, when she attended a handbell festival and saw that many groups covered their tables with old sheets. It was not until 1985 that she started Custom Coverings out of her home in Waynesville. Today the company is still the world's only commercial maker of handbell table coverings. In 1999, her 12-employee company processed over 1,800 orders with revenues of $600,000.
