Abstract:

Virginia Boone of Canton is ninety-four years old and braided the first of her colorful, long-lasting rugs in 1945. Her rugs are known for their longevity and extra thickness. Choosing colors and coordinating them is one of her skills. Her rugs have found a place in all fifty states and in seven foreign countries. Since 1950, her rugs have been featured at the North Carolina State Fair's Village of Yesteryear.
