<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 9968558, member: 10944"]It seems the loose usage is not regional but spread wide and far. If you google the word “tapestry” and look at image results the first dozen(s) results are all modern fabrics meant for wall hanging. I wondered if you were correct, that’s why I did a search. I think at least since the 60’s if you were a hippie/college kid with hippie tendencies you weren’t worth your salt if you didn’t have a large tie dye or vaguely ethnic looking “tapestry” hanging from the wall. Mine was a gigantic blue and purple tie dye with an Alice in Wonderland caterpillar in the center I believe. I lived on the beach one summer when I was 19 or so. The entire front wall of my bedroom was a sliding glass door looking out to the ocean. My groovy tapestry covered the entire thing so that I could sleep in without being cooked by the sun. I could then pull it to the side when I got up. </p><p><br /></p><p>I however just have two lousy bedsheets it turns out. The unsuspecting hippies are so high they will never know the difference. I may pull the wool right over their eyes with my technically incorrect tapestry terminology.
