Weaving -- United States

The pattern name of this black and white image is Double Muscadine Hull. The name is likely derived for a fondness of or a real or imagined resemblance to the muscadine grape, Vitis rotundifolia, native to the southeastern United States. The back of this photograph is marked: "No.30. Double Muscadine Hull, Fishomingo [sic] Co., Mississip," an incorrect spelling written by the transcriber that should read “Tishomingo” County. Frances Goodrich, founder of Allanstand Cottage Industries, collected the photograph. In “The Book of Handwoven Coverlets,” published in 1912 by Eliza Calvert Hall (1856-1935), this almost identical image adds this information: “Woven in Tishomingo County, Miss. Owned by the writer, to whom it was given by William Wade.” Goodrich's work reviving traditional weaving in the mountains of western North Carolina during the late 1890s and early 1900s led her to collect weaving patterns much in the same way that others of that era were collecting mountain songs. Goodrich kept extensive records of the weave patterns and variations that she came across in her travels. Her research may have provided background for or influenced what was woven and sold through her Allanstand Cottage Industries.
