An article by Cornelia Stone describing four old coverlets and blankets she examined or owned, including an 1849 Illinois overshot coverlet woven by George Bass, a combined 'Double Bow-Knot and Chariot Wheel' overshot coverlet, a 'Fish in the Pond' Summer and Winter coverlet, and a rose, blue and white all-wool blanket. It gives drafts, treadling tables, border suggestions, thread counts and sett (24 to 30 per inch) for reproducing each piece, with notes on yarns and colors. Includes local history and an old 'Way to Cure Love' verse dated 1828.
