Goodrich's
work
reviving
traditional
weaving
in the
mountains
of
western
North
Carolina
during
the
late
1890s
and
early
1900s
led
her to
collect
weaving
patterns
much
in the
same
way
that
others
of that
era
were
collecting
mountain
songs
.
Goodrich
kept
extensive
records
of the
weave
patterns
and
variations
that she
came
across
in her
travels
. Her
research
may
have
provided
background
for or
influenced
what was
woven
and
sold
through
her
Allanstand
Cottage
Industries
.
