A two-page article from Handweaving News (April 1945) by Nellie S. Johnson presenting four-harness Colonial coverlet patterns adapted as overshot rugs. It centers on Sample No.20, "Reflections," and gives key drafts and threading drafts (Figures 2-5) with star, diamond and table figures. Instructions cover warp and sett for a coverlet and a rug, thread counts, treadling sequences for each figure, and how to adjust for rising-harness looms. It ends with an announcement of a summer weaving class at Wayne University.
