Blummebett
-
This textile is based on a pattern titled Bild Num. 14 (picture number 14) from John Landes's late 18th century weaving pattern book. John Landes was an itinerant weaver who travelled from home to home in the Pennsylvania Dutch country, showing his pattern book to discerning clients who needed coverlets for their beds. His weaving pattern book is now housed at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
A Blummebett is Pennsylvania Dutch for 'flower bed'. The pattern has large blue roses enclosed and circled by four small red roses.
