A 1958 self-published pamphlet of work sheets for weaving linens, based on early American linen textiles from the author's collection and adapted for modern use.

The patterns cover broken twill, huck, Ms and Os, Bronson (including a 1817 Bronson draft reproduced), Bronson lace, overshot, summer and winter, Bronson point, novelty twill and double-faced twill. A foreword describes the author's collecting and gives advice on fine linen yarns, colors and place mat sizes.
