A 1939 article by Christine Ferry on the Willow Cottage Weavers of Nantucket, a home weaving industry run by Mr. and Mrs. Melville B. Melendy. It describes custom hand-woven upholstery fabrics made with wool and mercerized cotton, plus bathroom mats, table doilies and floor rugs. Photographs show a bathroom mat, a Martha Washington chair upholstered in a coverlet-derived pattern, rugs, and eight labeled upholstery samples. No weaving drafts are given.
