The Weaving Book of Peace and Patience

The Weaving Book of Peace and Patience
by Isadora Safner and Diane Piette

I have gotten a chance to look at the weaving drafts of these two ladies (mother and daughter). The book states "probable dates of the weaving drafts are 1798-1826." Ten Cape Cod weavers reproduced the drafts for the Old Strubridge Village, Massachusetts. If you are a lover of overshot you will enjoy this book. The drafts are presented with a threading draft with notation of yarns used. I borrowed this book from the Complex Weavers library.
