LEE’S SURRENDER
Emily’s Coverlet
3/00
 
 



Emily wanted a lavender coverlet that would match the violets in her curtains and wallpaper.
Lee’s Surrender, provides the traditional Overshot Bow Tie motif, it might also be seen as a floral violet.
The wonderful lacy effect of this pattern seems appropriate for a little girl’s room.

The pattern was downloaded from http://server16.hypermart.net/danuweaver/LeesSurrender.jpg

This is a 4 shaft pattern, I used 6 shafts as I tipped the draft and placed the pattern thread in the warp added tabby to both warp and weft and wove the weft in white Graylock wool worsted 3/12. The pattern thread is Purple Ash Softball cotton 2/2. The tabby in the warp is 16/2 unmercerized cotton. The sett is 20 e.p.i..
