According to Janet Wiseman, education director of the Southern Highland Craft Guild, Frances Louisa Goodrich (1856-1944) was many things.<\/p>\n

She was an artist. She was a social activist. She was a Presbyterian missionary. She was a strong businessperson. But above all, Goodrich was the mother of the mountain craft movement.<\/p>\n

In 1890, Goodrich moved from New York to Asheville to volunteer at Riceville\u2019s College Hill School. Two years later, she moved 12 miles north to establish a small mission community in Brittain\u2019s Cove. It was there, \u201cout of pure goodwill,\u201d that a neighbor gave Goodrich a 40-year-old coverlet woven in the Double Bowknot pattern.<\/p>\n

According to Goodrich\u2019s 1931 memoir, Mountain Homespun, the blanket was \u201cgolden brown on a cream-colored background.\u201d The brown fabric had been dyed with chestnut oak and \u201cwas as fine a color as the day it was finished.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Frances Goodrich saw the skill level and beauty of the work, she asked if there were any people still weaving coverlets in the area,\u201d says Wiseman. \u201cShe knew if she could find women who wanted to learn to weave the coverlets, she would find a market and bring much-needed income into the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though hand-weaving was fading, locals directed Goodrich to an elder who still practiced the old ways. From there, Goodrich rode her pony, Cherokee, to remote corners of Western North Carolina and \u201cbought looms, found teachers and students, gathered materials, chose weaving drafts and started production,\u201d says Wiseman.<\/p>\n

In the coming years, women wove fabric into smaller decorative pieces. Though these textiles were primarily sold as mail-order products, Goodrich soon founded a craft shop in an old cabin on the Buncombe Turnpike. Known as Allanstand Cottage Industries, the store became a place where passersby could purchase quilts as well as brooms, baskets, wooden furniture and hooked rugs.<\/p>\n

Needless to say, Goodrich sparked a craft revolution. But she didn\u2019t do it alone. In 1930, other visionaries like Olive Dame Campbell (an American folklorist and founder of the John C. Campbell Folk School) and Mary Martin Sloop (founder of Crossnore School) came together to create the Southern Highland Craft Guild.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese founders were dedicated to helping the citizens of the Southern Appalachians and saving the handcraft traditions,\u201d says Wiseman. \u201cBy forming a Guild, they created an umbrella organization and pooled their resources to be stronger and more effective in their mission.\u201d<\/p>\n

Equally devoted to the cause, Goodrich donated Allanstand Cottage Industries to the newly formed Guild in 1931. For the next 18 years, the shop was the Guild\u2019s only source of income, says Wiseman.<\/p>\n

Today, Allanstand Cottage Industries is located inside the Folk Art Center and is considered the oldest craft store in the country. It\u2019s a place where visitors can purchase everything from maple spoons to corn shuck dolls. Of course, there are quilts, too. That\u2019s all thanks to Goodrich.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe is still remembered and revered,\u201d says Wiseman. \u201cShe accomplished a lot in her life, but was credited as being a humble and friendly person and kind to all. What more can we aspire to?\u201d<\/p>\n

The Folk Art Center is located at Milepost 382 on the Blue Ridge Parkway. For more information, see SouthernHighlandGuild.org<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
