Weaver and editor Carol Strickler has spent a good share of her weaving life peering at fabrics. A recognised authority on coverlet weaves, she authored 'American Woven Coverlets' (Interweave Press, 1998), and has analysed coverlets, written articles on the subject, and consulted with weavers and collectos accross the country.
