Anne Ruane's illustrated report on the second national exhibition of Contemporary American Handwoven Textiles, organized by Lou Tate and the Louisville group at the J. B. Speed Memorial Museum, 1940-1942. It describes how the show was organized, juried and awarded, then goes through the five divisions (clothing, linens, household fabrics, runners and wallhangings, tapestries) with photographs and captions naming each weaver. It discusses overshot, summer-and-winter, geometric double weave, doukagang, laid-in tapestry, Khilim, and Norwegian and Coptic techniques, and comments on design, yarns, simple looms and guild activities. It contains no weaving drafts.
