Synopsis
This collection of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century weaving drafts from the Southern Highlands region of Appalachia includes 112 overshot drafts and drawdowns, and 31 drafts and drawdowns for the all-white summertime cotton bedspreads called counterpanes. Color photos of the original samples are shown side by side with valuable modern translations of the drafts, which enable today's weavers to make them. A vibrant example of our weaving heritage, these drafts were originally gathered in the nine states of the Southern Highlands region between 1892 and 1918 by the legendary Frances L. Goodrich. Handwoven counterpanes and coverlets were important possessions, and often were the only items of beauty in the women's otherwise impoverished living conditions. These are drafts Goodrich carefully collected but did not include in her classic Brown Book . Dozens of vintage photographs of Goodrich, the communities she served, and the women who invented the drafts help bring this part of our American craft heritage to life., This collection of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century weavingdrafts from the Southern Highlands region of Appalachia includes 112 overshot drafts and drawdowns, and 31 drafts and drawdowns for the all-white summertime cotton bedspreads called counterpanes.

    Item is beautiful, and as described. Arrived on time, too! It is sturdy and well made and the packaging was very good so it was intact with no damage when I opened it. Definitely worth the price rather than having it shipped from overseas. I absolutely love it!

  • Love this book

    The authors of this book documented and restored antique patterns from Frances Goodrich who set up weaving studios in western North Carolina. It is a wonderful book that captures the flavor of a by-gone era.
