The Amish and Mennonite communities in Pennsylvania wove these runners mainly for their own use using the material that they had on hand. It is a beautiful example of an upcycling and reuse of material that has utilitarian functions but is also a representation of the art and culture that is woven into it. This American Amish Rag Runner is in stripe design and has a very modern design format and can be incorporated into any modern interior design project.
