For a weaver, trying a new pattern is always a fun endeavour. Weaving patterns, called drafts, are written with great specificity with exhaustive directions for threading one's fiber in a specific order, attaching the treadles (foot pedals), and then additional graphics indicating the order with which the treadles are to be pressed. It was thus mind-boggling to be presented with the weaving patterns from the Baer family archive. Their simplicity; one did not know how to begin! I immediately felt a deep respect for these fellow weavers who had woven beautiful fabrics on the crudest of looms.
It was a joy to weave a coverlet sample for this project, appreciating with each throw of the shuttle that another woman had followed the same sequence and that by producing the exact same fabric we are connected over time.
