Coverlets woven in vibrant colors of red, blue, white, and green are as popular today as they were in the nineteenth century.American Coverlets and Their Weavers is a lavishly illustrated guide to one of the premier collections of coverlets in the nation.
Clarita S. Anderson, noted lecturer and scholar, has written widely on textiles and is the author of Weaving a Legacy: The Don and Jean Stuck Coverlet Collection and Figured and Fancy: Weavers of Wayne County, New York.
“American Coverlets and Their Weavers is an attractive,
well-designed publication that is likely to offer updated
information and enhance the earlier work’s scholarship. The author,
who has other publications on the topic, has constructed a
thorough, informative reference work on an important aspect of
American textile history.”
*American Reference Books Annual*
“The work is an invaluable source for research on American
coverlets in general and for specifics of weavers…The excellent
sample entries on the weavers in the state-by-state portion are
models of scholarship about the form, and the checklist is
excellent for looking up makers.”
*The Roanoke Times*
