Such projects as heirloom linens, traditional coverlets, and colorful modern applications for scarves, table toppers, and wall hangings are presented, covering everything a crafter needs to know to design fabulous fabrics in overshot and its cousin star-and-diamond weave. Both beginners and advanced weavers working on at least four-shaft looms will delight in the projects provided.

wow! overshot,
By Kathy Hill "still weaving" (Troutdale VA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Overshot is Hot!: The Best of Weaver's (Best of Weaver's series) (Paperback)
When I started weaving MANY years ago, overshot just fascinated me. However, it did seem regulated to doing placemats and napkins and I quickly lost interest. This book has renewed my interest in trying this "basic" weave structure in new and exciting ways -- now, I just need to find the time to try some of Madelyn's excellent suggestions!

This book shows that weaving in overshot is no longer passe - it's HOT! Very cool designs and manageable projects make this book an excellent choice for weavers who are curious about the technique but have always thought it was just for "old school" craftspeople. Give it a "shot"!!
