Description
This
color
image
shows
a
full-size
coverlet
in a
weave
pattern
known
as
Cat
Tracks
and
Snail
Trail
or
Snow
Trail
. The
circles
are
said
to
resemble
a
cat’s
paw
or
snowball
while
the
diagonal
undulating
lines
resemble
snail
tracks
. The
back
of this
photograph
is
marked
Rattlesnake
.
Coverlet
pattern
names
were
never
standardized
thus
a
variation
in
pattern
name
is
quite
common
from
state
to
state
and
region
to
region
. The
coverlet
is
made
up
of
two
panels
that have been
carefully
matched
and
seamed
down
the
middle
.
Frances
Goodrich
,
founder
of
Allanstand
Cottage
Industries
,
collected
the
photograph
.
It
is
unclear
whether
this
coverlet
might
have been
produced
by
Allanstand
Cottage
Industries
by an
unidentified
weaver
or was
simply
part
of
Goodrich's
research
on
traditional
weaving
patterns
.
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
.
