Wrap
up in history this winter with our new coverlet woven the the Pine Bloom
pattern woven in traditional red white and blue. This overshot coverlet
has been faithfully reproduced from a 19th century example that was
originally woven in Moore County, TN by Elsina Green Motlow (1835-1930).
Elsina Green was one of 14 children and it is said that she confronted
Federal Troops at her family's doorstep, resulting in the soldiers
declining to enter the house.

Textiles this coverlet was woven on blanket shuttle looms this coverlet
features the shuttle woven return selvage edges seen on antique
coverlets.
