Testimonials

Nancy Kennedy Designs
In 2004, I bought a 3.5' by 6' rug from Nancy with the Autumn Maze pattern. It has been in several places in my living room, including in front of the fireplace, and because of its versatile design, it works well wherever I put it.

The pattern is as intriguing and interesting to me now as it was in 2004. It is a prized possession
