Fee: $10

Old-time necessities were often as beautiful as they were useful.  Penny rugs, identified by three concentric circles of wool or felt sewn one on top of another, form a geometric design in eye-catching color.  Civil War-era pennies, quarter-sized, helped form the smallest circle, hence the name.  Come make your own penny rug with cultural historian Diane Schwindt!  Materials fee of $10, non-refundable.
