A short announcement of an exhibition of American coverlets from the Philadelphia Museum of Art, including pieces mentioned in Mary Meigs Atwater's Shuttlecraft Book. The article describes six illustrated coverlets: two Pennsylvania double cloth pieces, a New York compound cloth coverlet, two geometric compound cloth coverlets, and an eighteenth-century fancy twill. For each it gives the provenance where known and the warp and weft materials and colors. It closes by listing photostat copies of early weaving draft books to be shown, including those of John Landes, Johann Ludwig Speck, William Hutchison and Conrad Schleelein.
