Our Antique Coverlet Throw Pillows are cut & sewn in-house from the scraps of 19th-century “overshot coverlets.” These bright, bold blankets were handwoven from wool and linen (or cotton) by women throughout Appalachia. Like favorite dishes, the “recipes” for their geometric patterns were passed down to their children and shared with neighbors. 

Weaving a coverlet was often a months-long process. Some weavers would even use the wool from their own sheep—shearing, spinning, and dyeing—partaking in every step of the blanket’s creation. Their endurance and timeless beauty is a real testament to the skill and tradition of these weavers. 

Sewn in limited numbers. Comes with down-alternative pillow insert.
