A Lily Mills leaflet by M. Lillian Hunter presenting ten handwoven drapery and upholstery fabric designs built on traditional threadings rather than plain twills. Designs 1-5 use honeysuckle overshot, 6-8 use M's and O's, and 9-10 use summer and winter, with yarn lists, sleying, threadings and treadling or weaving directions. Photos of fabric samples accompany the drafts, and the text includes advice on planning fabrics for a room and hanging draperies.
