Item Description
The cotton fabric of these pillow covers was hand woven at Old Sturbridge Village. The pattern used to weave this fabric came form a hand written weaving draught in the Old Sturbridge Village Collection. The draught was donated by the family of mother and daughter weavers, Patience and Peace Kirby, who wove on thie rfarm in Dartmouth, MA from 1798 to 1826. The Kirby family called this design "Great and Fine Huckerback." It is part of a group of fabrics known in the early 19th centery as diaper cloth. Diaper cloth was usually uncoloured, woven in lenen or lineand cotton, and characterized by a raised texture. The looser threads in the raised areas of the design made the fabric very absorbent. Diaper cloth was traditionally used to make towels, tablecloths, and napkins.
