Audrey Michie did the research on the design of Historic Rock Castle's Keeping Room floorcloth. Michie is now in Charlottesville, VA according to Roberta Petznick, Curator of Historic Rock Castle, who was responsible for Rock Castle's floorcloth reproduction project ca. 1990. (http://www.historicrockcastle.cjb.net/). There were not many people who did floorcloths when Roberta did this for Rock Castle. You should be able to find several sources now. She recommends contacting Historic New England, which was one of the first museums to create reproduction oil cloths. Alternatively, Strawbery Banke in Portsmouth, NH would be a good source.
