Description
This
photograph
features
Frances
Louisa
Goodrich
(1856-1944)
standing
in
front
of
two
coverlets
. The
coverlet
on the
left
is
woven
in a
Double
Bow
Knot
pattern
, the
one
on the
right
is
the
Pine
Cone
Bloom
pattern
. This
1943
photograph
,
made
the
year
before
Goodrich
died
,
is
historically
important
as the
Double
Bow
Knot
coverlet
is
the
gift
Goodrich
credited
with
inspiring
her to
revive
weaving
and
other
crafts
in
western
North
Carolina
. This
coverlet
was
reportedly
made
in the
1850s
by an
unidentified
weaver
.
It
was
presented
to
Goodrich
by
Mrs
.
William
Davis
of
Brittain's
Cove
,
North
Carolina
in the
mid-1890s
. This
coverlet
was
donated
to the
Southern
Highland
Handicraft
Guild
,
along
with the
rest
of
Goodrich's
craft
collection
. In this
photograph
, the
coverlet
appears
to be
part
of an
exhibition
that
featured
a
tabletop
display
of
numerous
watercolor
draw-downs
(weaving
patterns)
done
by
Goodrich
in the
late
1800s
and
early
1900s
. This
same
photograph
appears
in the
1989
facsimile
edition
of
Goodrich's
"
Mountain
Homespun.”
Goodrich's
work
reviving
traditional
weaving
in the
mountains
of
western
North
Carolina
during
the
late
1890s
and
early
1900s
led
her to
collect
weaving
patterns
much
in the
same
way
that
others
of that
era
were
collecting
mountain
songs
.
Goodrich
kept
extensive
records
of the
weave
patterns
and
variations
that she
came
across
in her
travels
. Her
research
may
have
provided
background
for or
influenced
what was
woven
and
sold
through
her
Allanstand
Cottage
Industries
.
