A post-graduation internship brought Molly Fitzpatrick to Winston-Salem, and her fondness for the city remains even though sheâs moved on.
The Ohio native found her calling in nearby Rural Hall at Lantal Textiles, Inc.

âMy time there was a very foundational experience,â she says. âI learned how to value the work, time and resources it takes to create a textile.â
After five years at Lantal, Fitzpatrick returned to Cleveland. She founded her own home textile brand, DittoHouse, in 2015. Itâs known for bold, graphic textile designs, with varied influences.
