Design Inspiration
This charming embroidered cotton is inspired by a linen needlework counterpane (bedcover) in Colonial Williamsburg's archive collection. The original, dated 1749, was made by Catherine Beckman Rutsen in Duchess County, New York. The motifs of vines, flowers and birds are simply rendered in one color of cotton thread on a dyed cotton ground.
