Summer & Winter: A Weave for all Seasons by Donna Sullivan "Summer and Winter is a traditional American weave structure, best known for its use in some of the blue-and-white Early American coverlets. The name comes from these colonial fabrics, which were predominantly dark on one side and light on the other. In this book, Donna Sullivan shares her knowledge of the traditional uses of summer and winter, as well as a number of new applications which stretch the limits and expand the creative horizons of this familiar structure. Every weaver should know summer and winter, for its historic value. Every weaver will want to discover this weave, for the wide variety of radically different fabrics which can be woven with it. A brief glance at this book hints at the possibilities for developing both textural effects and colour interactions; summer and winter invites continual exploration. The new weaver who can read a draft will discover here a simple weave system capable of producing sophisticated results. The experienced weaver will learn to master what is truly a "weave for all seasons". "
