Weaving -- Patterns

This coverlet is a variation of the King's Flower pattern with window sash and table motifs used in the design. It was woven by an unknown weaver in the mid-1800s in two strips, using two colors of wool on a cotton warp. Frances Louisa Goodrich (1856-1944) collected weavings, analyzed the weave structures, recorded numerical drafts, and made watercolor drawdowns to illustrate patterns. 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.
