According to the donor, a man named Wegley or Wigley wove this red, white, and blue, geometric double-cloth coverlet for a Mrs. Umbarger in Berlin, Somerset County, Pennsylvania in 1846. Mrs. Umbarger had the coverlet woven for her son, Perry Umbarger (b. 1834). Clarita Anderson’s research revealed that there was a family of weavers in Somerset County active during the timeframe named, Weigley, and it is these men, John and his sons, Lewis (1810-1885) and Seth, who were the likely weavers of this coverlet. This pattern depicted here is most commonly known as “Sorrel Blossom” but the accession file also suggested “Lover’s Chain” and “Potato Blossom” as alternative names. Many of these pattern names have changed over time and place. Many German-American weaving pattern books never name the geometric block-weaving patterns at all, but simply number them. This coverlet has two sets of warp and weft made from 2-ply, S-twist, Z-spun wool and cotton yarns. There are self-fringes on three sides of the coverlet. The coverlet measures 80 inches by 69 inches and is constructed from two panels.
