Coverlet (Plaid)
c. 1936
Step into the cozy world of 1930s Canadian textile design with this vibrant study for a plaid coverlet. Eva Wilson meticulously mapped out the intricate weave, using bold strokes of red, blue, and golden-yellow to capture the texture of the fabric before a single thread was spun. Notice the playful, flowing fringes cascading down the right and bottom edges, giving the flat page a sense of weight and movement. It's a beautiful reminder that behind every warm blanket lies a carefully crafted blueprint of color and geometry.
