A 1940 article in which Marguerite P. Davidson describes weaving coverlet samplers, threading six overshot coverlet patterns side by side on one warp and treadling each pattern's draft in turn so the other patterns take on hybrid variations. She describes the patterns chosen from Lou Tate's Kentucky Coverlet Book, her own collected drafts, and Philadelphia Museum of Art coverlets, plus the color choices and what she learned. Three pages include photographs of the first, second and third samplers; no drafts are printed.
