Elsie Trivette has created rugs and quilts for over fifty years, using skills learned from her mother and grandmother. She is the complete master of her art, from raising and processing materials, to making natural dyes, and finishing the product. She has been widely recognized and, in 1994, received a N.C. Folk Heritage Award for the quality and range of her work.
