Lelah Frisbie Adler describes her variations on Mary Atwater's "Humanesque Figures" weaving technique, a tapestry-effect weave worked on four treadles with pattern wefts. She gives warp setts, yarns, colors and treadling sequences for a tulip luncheon set, a tan and blue upholstery fabric, and a Flame Bargello simulation. The pages include draft and diagram grids. The scan also includes a Questions and Answers column by Mary M. Atwater on weaving and finishing a plain tabby suit fabric from hard-twisted "fabri" yarn.
