First article in a series by Lucy Morgan reporting on classes at Edward F. Worst's summer weaving institute at Penland. It covers woven pillow tops, with threading drafts, tie-ups and treadling (tramping) sequences for Pine Trees and Snow Balls in summer and winter, a 16-harness double weave version, Whig Rose, Spring Flowers, and Crackle weave. Warp and weft materials, sleys, and sett are given for each, mostly using Bernat cottons, Perle, Senna and homespun yarns.
