Mrs. T. S. Harrington shows decorator pillows made from Fieldcrest washcloths.
Washcloths Make Decorator Pillows
Decorator pillows made from Field
crest washcloths will find their way
into the homes of 14 prominent North
Carolinians in April.
The wives of former members of the
State Highway Commission (those who
served under Gov. Dan K. Moore) will
receive the pillows at a reunion meet
ing in Greensboro as a gift from Mrs.
T. S. Harrington of Eden, whose hus
band was a member of the Highway
Commission.
Mrs. Harrington selected a variety of
colors and styles of washcloths at the
Fieldcrest Store and, with the help of
friends in work-fun sessions at her
home, turned out the 14 sets of pillows.
Each pair includes a pattern wash
cloth coordinated with one in a solid
color.
The idea for making the pillows was
not original with Mrs. Harrington: , she
said she had seen such pillows that
other people had made.
But the idea of giving them to the
wives of the former commissioners was
hers and “I’ll be proud to present them,”
she said.
