Mountain Milestones was a newsletter published by the Penland Weavers and Potters as a vehicle for disseminating news about the Penland community, the work of the Penland Weavers and Potters, and information on the summer Weaving Institutes. Two issues were published in 1932 and it was not published again until 1945. The newsletter was edited by Bonnie Willis Ford; the cover illustration by Bayard Wootten. This issue, Vol. 1, No. 2, published in October 1932, contains articles on the death of local weaver Amanda Bailey; the summer Weaving Institutes and new classes in weaving and pottery; visits by University of North Carolina professors Frederick Koch and John Lear; decorating the living room in Morgan Hall with local hand crafts; the use of hand woven items and other traditions in several local churches. In 1938, the Weaving Institutes officially became the Penland School of Handicrafts (now Penland School of Crafts).
