July CupboardScape

Good afternoon Sweet friends.

What better to feature for a July

CupboardScape.

To honor our country

for our Patriotic month,

coverlets in red, white and blue...

with a touch of gold.

Dated coverlets can be found between 

the years of 1771 thru 1889.

Coverlets were woven on looms,

not quilted and were placed on top

of bedcovers.

Geometric, Fancy, Floral and even figures

and slogans were made into coverlets.

Since looms were not very wide,

usually two or even three were pieced together

with a center seam.

Even better, they are reversible,

so you get two looks for one.

Since men made coverlets,

a little known fact is if you see a woman

woven into a coverlet, it was 

specifically made for the mistress of the

home at the time.

Do you have any coverlets?

If so what does your patterns look like?

Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend.

July Coverlet Blessings To All!
