In the Beginning ...
In the beginning, Plaid's founder, David A. Cunningham, aimed to "create a diversified yet synergistic company that would provide the most complete, comprehensive programs available to market and sell craft products." The name "Plaid" means "a series of lines that cross to form a pattern." His family tartan became the logo. |
Plaid's first product category was a series of how-to books, instructing crafters on such projects as beading, decoupage, needlecrafts, floral arranging, and macrame. However, as the company and the customers grew, Plaid soon discovered that there was a large demand for unique products that would help crafters create these and other types of projects. That is when the company first began to expand its offerings to reach the broad range of crafters.
