Star of Bethlehem history
Roxie Rochat
I'd like to learn more about the history of the Star of Bethlehem pattern.
Davison (p. 134) attributes it to "Josephine Estes-Handicrafter Vol IV No 1-pg 4"
That issue is not listed in https://www2.cs.arizona.edu/patterns/weaving/articles439.html
but it appears to have been published in 1932.
It is pattern #22 in
Estes, Josephine E. Original Miniature Patterns for Hand Weaving, Part I, Bare Cove Weavers.
I may have missed something, but did try to search Strickler, handweaving.net, "The Weaving Roses of Rhode Island" by Isadora M. Safner, "Weaving with Foot-Powered Looms" by Edward F. Worst, and Black's "Key to Weaving."
So it's a "traditional weaving pattern," but is there anywhere else I should look for more of its history?
Thanks, Roxie Rochat

Not at home right now but a couple more places to check would be: "The Coverlet Books" by Helen Bress or a more difficult one to find "Of Coverlets the Legacies The Weavers" by Doris Kenedy, Sadye Tune Wilson. If you belong to a guild they may have them in the guild library.
I'll check this evening when I am home. Lois Erbland

In Helen Bress' book, on page 323 there is reference to it - she has a one sentence discusses that it was likely woven in the early 19th century - there is an analysis of a piece of fabric found in the Smithsonian Institution of Washington, D.C.

Roxie,
I found this, I hope it helps in your search. A Star of Bethlehem coverlet is owned by The National Museum of the American Coverlet, Bedford, Pennsylvania: NMAC collection. This link has photo, draft, etc.
