Murray Bay Handicrafts
Article · 2 pages
A short magazine article describing the handwoven and tufted handicrafts of Murray Bay (Pointe-a-Pic) on the St. Lawrence River in Quebec. It covers the wool blankets spun, dyed and woven by local French-Canadian and Indian women, and the linen bedspreads and coverlets with tufted or darned designs of pine trees, houses, papooses and animals. It also describes the setting, the village shops and the tourist market. One photograph shows a craftswoman at a loom with finished goods, and another shows a patterned spread.
